looking good dave, don't change tooooo much this time of year as the season is almost upon us, if things don't work out you will loose precious summer show time, best leave the major changes to the winter time, only five or so weeks to the lakes, don't want to miss it

Looking foward to seeing this again this year dave .

Is it you Mr Raver that's leaned that bladdy bike against the silver motor? I suppose it was better than leaning it against the yellow one.








Congratulations on starting I've been waiting months for this.

Takes a bit of doing getting stuck in but you will be alright now with all these nice bits that need fixing on. Well done Dave and keep these pics coming in now.

Update

Tuesday: Prepared the replacement diff for painting. Chosen a 3:89 instead of the 4:1 currently fitted. The car has being screaming at 60/70mph. It needed a bloody good clean up and painting;

Before...



After...




Today (Thursday):

Spent some time down at "Dale's" today and got some bits done on the car. Big thanks to Dale!

After a morning brew, we cracked on removing the grille, fitted the brackets and Cibie Super Oscar replicas (they are for show, not for regular use) which look the part in my opinion. This did require some creative drilling. Also fitted the bumper over-riders.





Then it was onto the engine bay. Rocker cover removed, carb and manifold off and a bloody good clean up.....



Then the new Burton Rocker Cover was fitted along with the Twin 40 Weber's. Some new hoses required. Put some new spark plugs in too.



They sounded sweet

A break for lunch and then it was time to fit the diff. Whilst the car was up on the ramps, we put a new oil filter on and did a long overdue oil change.



Still a few things to do tomorrow and a couple more bits and pieces to get, but really pleased with the transformation, particularly the spotlights.

Before:



After:



Might have to change the number plate for a rectanglular one as I appear to have a private plate now "DJ 599". Lol

Really enjoyed today, a good learning experience for me. Im normally when it comes to mechanics. lol
