Hey Mick,

Cheers

Carn, Mick.

Update time.

[Mick]

pretty much farkall changed the head as the first one had a wonky rocker post but new head tons more comp masive ports and roller rockers took off extractors (wouldn't work with chassis) fitted X2 type headers, so now basically back to where i was but man it sounds awsome gotta love a big solid cam and tons of compression only real move forward is radiator fitted and all conected engine fan etc on and now has accelerator cable basically fitted just needs some tweaking
i really really am hoping to have it driving (if the auto works) witin the next month

[Mick]

big couple of days fuel tank cleaned and fitted, fuel line run from front to rear, battery box fitted battery cables run, tailshaft in, gear shift in, rear shock mount fitted and rear shocks fitted, had motor running on hoist and seems to get gears should be taking it for a spin in the car park tomorrow

Pics or it didn't happen

[Mick]

well it did happen but needs some sorting tune up wise but that's to be expected mostly just fueling up for some reason no burnout either as at the moment no booster so have to apply a lot of pedal pressure for brakes to work which brings the back brakes on hard (if it had a slippery or a CIG locker i'de have clamped off the back brakes so it would be worthwhile ) but still happy I can sit in it hit a switch start the engine put it in gear and move it without having to push it around

I do have video but not at home and do ou think I can get the f#%king thing off my phone when I'm back home i'll be on to it though

[Mick]

mate's son driving trying to do a burnout see above why it wouldn't

[ekv8ute]

Looks and sounds sweet Mick, just need to lock it up a bit more!

[Mick Jagger]

[Mick]
