Nice garage! 8)
What's the plan with the engine?

Cheers :mrgreen:


The plan is (at the moment :lol: ) mild 1776 cc (mahle 90.5mm b & p's) Twin carbs (weber idf's or del drla's), get the flywheel and crank balanced, When the case is machined get it fully flowed for oil, it came with a good Bosch alt con so thats going on, open to suggestions on the cam thinking 110?, port and polish the heads, also fit full stat and flaps and whatever else happens on the way :lol: it's going to be a long term project so no rush :mrgreen:

Decided to run a while with the rack off while I change the wooden lats to some nice ash my bro has got me, and also will give me a chance to give the roof a good polish

 

[68_early_bay]

Erm Decided to whip a piece of delux trim off to start polishing it... Suppose it hasn't been off for while :lol:

So spent a couple of hours compounding it back and polishing it up

Hopefully get the rest off and cleaned up this week






Then I can start on the trim :?

 

[68_early_bay]

Oh and put my eb sticker in 8)

 

[Myvanway]

That's the only thing, I'm thinking of 2k lacquering or something once done so I haven't got to do it again :lol:
