Sounds like I'll soon have some company on the track days?

Will be interstate this weekend but can help you with it when I'm back.

well picked up the engine yesterday arvo and got it all in by about 10 pm that night had a few minor setbacks, such as a stripped engine mount, god knows how it happend but thanks to the kindness of Rhys (2ltscort) a second hand mount was supplied to get me on my way again,now the only drama im having is gettin the thing to run[xx(] ive got spark and ive got fuel so im assuming its gotta be timing, ill have a bit more of a play around with it after work today but hopefully she shood be a drivable by Sunday night with some luck that is

well after a month of being down and gettin the carbys tuned ( had a major setback with an elusive dodgy ignition module) the car is back on the road, feels much more powerful, and alot more grunt, carbys are spot on aswell so i was happy with that, i have tafe on november 17th so will be getting it on the dyno to see power gains,but before then the car should hopefully get a track day at mallala under its belt, but before i go blasting around the track, i plan to get a new set of wheels or spacers for my current ones, fit up front bilstiens and kmac strut tops, and fix a few oil leaks, then i should have a nice decent package

Sounds like it's gonna be a nice bit of kit with those parts.

Dave,
Who did you get the brake lines through? I found them a great improvement also.

On a side note, you've done a top job getting it looking good, I saw it parked out front of your work tonight with the sun reflecting off the side of it. Looking very nice.
