[Down under 311]

Was going to go then decided against it - bit to far to get down and back in the 3 days
Make sure you post some photos !

Just wondering whether you could rebody the matching number car with yours ? Lift off te body and drop onto his chassis and engine - plus your nice bits - would make it potentially more valuable ???
Have fun at nationals !

Well come on Matty where is all the photo's of our hard work?

Ok Mon and folks here is the latest update. Removed U20 and box yesterday with the help of my brother, nephew and dad. The prep I did during the week removing all the connections paid off and it was a relatively seamless removal of both motors on Saturday. H20 has been fitted in white car ready to connect everything up. Once done then down to some cleaning of parts ready to fix up U20. More soon but in the meantime here are some pics of the roadster workshop.









and the proud but filthy owner.

Matt, the new engine looks pretty special sitting there in the garage.

Matt - would suggest larger ram tubes and rally box as discussed in my other thread if you want it to really hum - weren't you selling your original air filter box ??

[mattywood]

It does look pretty Mon. I am selling a late model air cleaner body and keeping the early model one. I was thinking of running a unifilter double foam filter.

You may notice the gearbox has been painted black. I will have to fix this.

Ps check the venturis whilst you have good access and update to 37's is possible - put in a o2 sensor and reap the rewards ! Will and Greg have been brilliant in getting mine to perform properly !!

It has webers at the moment but I am swapping for late model solexs that Lou is rebuilding.
