No lace yet paint is ordered its in the ppg vibrance range its called ice ghost $125 for 250 mils
Got the motor fired up tonight sounds like the little red has a cam in it
Then we rebuilt the brake master cylinder and installed it then we rebuilt the clutch master cylinder Little bit of a problem the slave cylinder on the 5 speed is pissing fuild out so will have to rebuild this weekend.
Other then that will start putting the wiring in it radiator etc .
Can i get rid of the voltage regulator and replace it with some relays so i can hide out of site

You can lose the reg if you have an alternator with a built in regulator.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Got the motor started on wednesday night bit loud straight out of the extractors at 1030 at night.Started and idled straight away not bad for a motor not started for 12 years.Hooked every thing up today and ran the motor for 20 mins to get it hot enough to open the thermostat.Oil pressure was good.Need to get a muffler on it now to keep the neighbours happy.Bleed the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder.just need to hook up the tailshaft and bleed the brakes.Then i can take it for a test drive down the street and back.
