Thats true but there is not much room in the back for much more than a leggles midget and would like to get rid off the back seat in favour of a cage some day.

Had some progress but dont have a camera to take any pics.
Ive been working on the motor bike throttle boddies and got them all bolted up and spaced out on the manifold. Also got my head back from the engine shop and started the porting on that! I think i might order my Mega-squirt tonight to.
coming along still though which is good.

Hey,

Any updates on the throttle bodies? What are they like? Have you run the engine with them yet?

Cheers

Just using a stardard mk2 master. Not sure how it will go yet unboosted (ive heard its fine) but if im not happy ill fit a remote booster for the front. Was real easy to set up, master just bolted srait in where the old brackets for the booster were mounted. Then cut the rod off the pedal rod, drilled out a hole on the pedal bracket bit, then turned the rod around and fitted the threaded end to the pedal end so it was adjustabe, then cut it to lengh. Dont know if that makes sense but can take some picks if you like?

I would like some pics of this set up please.
I am about to install a 1600 that has been tricked out to 1720 with twin sidies but of course the booster is going to be in the way. This mod you have made looks the best and quickest way to go

Cheers

haven't made a lot of progress with the old girl unfortunately.[V]
I got the manifold made and have the throttle bodies spaced out and mounted to that and started on my megasquirt kit.
Im working over in the goldfields in WA and the cars in sa so dont have alot of time to work on her. will hopefully get stuck back into it soon. Will post picks of what's done when i get back next week.

Ok well there hasnt been much progress on my little mk1 over the last year but finnaly got her home on the weekend and just started a new job with heaps less hours so its time to get stuck back into her.

Plans are to cut off the front guards which were never fitted properly and fit some fibreglass bubble arches. Weld the new drivers floor in and finish rebuilding my reasonablly warm pinto with the twin 42mm webers i have waiting to go on.

good work mate slow progress is still progress keep at it.[:p]

Well ive had abit more progress on the old scort. Attacked the poor old thing with the grinder today and cut the left side wing off which was allot easier and quicker than removing the door was. didn't find too many nasty suprices under there which was good considering the dodgey job that had been done of fitting the wings.
Also striped some more off the interior out and clean some rusty bits up ready for paint.
