Cheers Mate,
 
Yeah, but I actually prefer playing with stuff more than I do driving it!
 
Next thing to do is get the carbs tuned properly than get the new struts & rear diff put in.
 
Cheers

I'm with you.
Next time i need flares just get em done - i hate them.
Although i think a more proffessional tool would help.

All done and dusted.
 
I got my 6 year old to pump the brakes whilst we bled them and the pedal is now rock hard.  I think my legs will be getting a work out, that's for sure.
 
Threw the other wheels on too.
 
Next step is to get the new 3.89 diff in and the R31 rear disc brake conversion.
 
Cheers,
 
Matt

Nice work on the brakes, Matt.
 
I always get my 10 yo daughter to help me bleed the brakes.

Cheers Mate,
 
Kids are a great source of cheap labour.

Been a bit slack recently.
 
Have installed a coolant overflow bottle and dropped the car off today to get dyno tuned so the bike carbs are set up & running properly.
 
I am a bit anxious as to how it will all turn out to be honest.
 
The guy has done another escort on R1 carbs and he reckons they are an awesome match.
 
Time will tell.  I'm in no rush so should get the car back early next week.
 
Cheers,
