wolfrace 116 Posted November 15, 2016 Engine looks and sounds like it runs really sweet. Definitely like that colour combo, looks the part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danish 294 Posted November 15, 2016 Nice to see the engine running, and the bay looks very nice. Steve Wright playing in the background gets a :thumbup: too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 87 Posted November 17, 2016 looking so cool tone...... i itching to see this at shows when complete.....well done matey :thumbup: Cheers Gary :) Nice work on the engine Tony it's so satisfying when they run after a rebuild. Yeh, gave me a little hassle at first as the points had opened slighty as I didnt tighten them up enough. Had me testing loads of stuff as I couldnt understand where my spark had gone lol Engine looks and sounds like it runs really sweet. Definitely like that colour combo, looks the part. Thanks, It will need the cam clearances resetting after a while though as I didnt keep the followers in order :( Nice to see the engine running, and the bay looks very nice. Steve Wright playing in the background gets a :thumbup: too! Ta Jayne, Radio 2 all the way! Bonnet underside coming on. Rust removed, Kurust applied, primer on and filler primer where needed: Got my heater matrix out as my foam had arrived to stick on it but found it had a hole: Cant remember it having that when I saw it last, must have cyber rats lmao. Tried to solder it but it just doesnt take on aluminium. My main parts supplier (Dave) came up with a replacement last night. Trouble is, when I came to fit it today the inlet and outlet are in the wrong place to go through the plate: Just bypassed it for now: I will buy an Ali soldering rod and solder mine up I think.

FKLGLS 44 Posted November 18, 2016 Bring it back to mine on Saturday and we'll see if I have the right plate for it or swap it for a different one. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the offer Jayne. I am off to Daves today so should be ok :) Bring it back to mine on Saturday and we'll see if I have the right plate for it or swap it for a different one. See you later Unc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 87 Posted November 24, 2016 Bit more on the underside of the bonnet: I did this with rattle cans as I only just have enough left of my origional can of paint to cover 1 side of the bonnet, so I want it to be the top so it matches lol. Ran out of cans so I am going to put sound deadening on the flat bits that I have left unsprayed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 87 Posted March 20, 2017 Looks like its been a while since I updated this :) Bonnet on and polished: Looks good in the pic but there are a few scratches from poor prep lmao. The interior is all in now and looks good. I ran this gaiter up on the sewing machine: Decided to cut the door cards and fit speakers: The finished article - its not origional (although I have all the origional parts) as I prefer the higher spec dash and wheel etc: Am now sorting the rear lights and splicing in 12N and 12S sockets for towing.
