phew - got the wheels on late last night...

ended up with 1/2 inch spacers on the front, and was going to put them on the back aswell, except they were a bugger to put on... didn't want to bash them on, as the spacers for the back hub needed to be machined back by a couple of mm...
so no spacers on the back, but all the clearances are ok...


and Yes, i think the scoop is quite corny... [(#)]
it was given to me when i was helping a mate clear out his shed... i am a long while off paint, so dont need to make a decision anytime soon... [;^)]

pics of new wheels - new 195/50 r 15 on Ford racing rims (capri ET35 offset)

Linkage and assorted additional jets arrived Friday.

Now there is the task of stripping the carb down, and re conditioning it all...

hopefully get this done in the next week or so (as long as i dont find anything sinister along the way).

those rims look good man, just drop it a few inches now [:x)]

fixed the fog lights on the weekend...

the halogen globes say 55watt, but they are brighter than the high beams... hmmm...

Still deep in the general malaise that goes with rebuilding carbs... just need to keep everything in order (sequence) so i remember to put it all back the way it came off...

ignitor to go on...

same old chestnut - i need the esky to get to work and back, but i want to install all the bits aswell...

i have a week off over xmas, and was hoping to (between the festivities) get all the bits on...

it might be too ambitious to have all the bits, including tune-ing done within a week?

I would like to do it all in one hit, but if its too hard, may end up doing it bit by bit...

to do (in order of 'easiest to acheive');

- fit elec ignition, set ign timing
- fit new oil pump
- fit new rocker cover
- remove head and grind to fit double springs
- fit cam, cam gear, set cam timing
- fit webber, manifold and hook up linkage
- tune
