Lol, i've never seen wheels like that before. I thought they'd been mounted back2front or inside out somehow.

would look better, and no doubt sell faster if he just put it on standard wheels and standard door cards and i dont even know what to make of that pinto carb and manifold crap he has going on. im sure thats called 'going backwards' from standard. and probably cost as much as an ECU to have the manifold made. :/

Inlet manifold looks efficient, not. Plus I very much doubt it's getting full throttle with that exquisite throttle linkage.....

thats 1 for the 'there,i fixed it' site.looks like a moonbuggy and i dont think a rebuild kit is really what that carb needs,it needs binning!

Air filter not required then? I bet the standard engine made more power than that bodge job!

Ermm. Oh dear, wheels stick out beyond the extremeties of the bodywork, stretched tires, dodgy looking inlet with carb. Nice seats and I even quite like the number plates but it is a fail on most levels

so many bodges,notice the bolt thing on the arsellorator cable since he didnt have 1 that fitted,the sensor screwed to the inner wing with no wiring,the rocker breather without a pipe,the whole carb in general,tidy welding on the inlet manifold though and in its defence,it doesnt look like the tyres have been scraping,but thats prob because it doesnt go fast enough with that shocking engine.its worth more standard than that abortion any day.

i know someone who would build something like this apart from the wheels as they probably cost a couple of quid to do.

classic ford, i think, did a feature on banded wheels a few issues ago
nothing wrong with them if they are welded up properly
