Going to get it running spot on and then use it at the Beds track day and go from there!




Be good to see it on track.

Not a huge fan of WW calipers - but did notice the AP's

Wasnt sure about the bonnet until I looked at the heater vents a second time, then it gave it away

Dont drive it home on that flat tyre will you

Im sure you will have fun for a lap or two

Tiff it will deffo stay in 1 piece until Bedford mate
Can't wait to take it for a blat round MK tommorow lol It sound awesome with those big old carbs sucking away The box is apparently straight cut in every gear so should add to the noise level

Nuts i noticed the tyre mate it takes a week to go flat apparently but i got another set of nice wheels with it so might change them tommorow whilst i sort the tyres on the split rims

Good stuff, carbs suck (literally ), induction roar is cracking but get some filters on there before you get half a brick in the engine

Spadge - Mate, that looks the bollocks, can't wait to see it out tearing up the track.

Also, my apologies for the mess about with the Cossie, I got one of those can't turn it down offers. I'll look out for you at Central Day if you're there and sort you out a few beers for your troubles.

I rang him and he said he'd take it off Ebay for 3500 inc trailer. Baring in mind it didn't have the stickers and wasn;t road legal.

I thought that was not a million miles away.
