Lachie 1979 RS2000

Hi Guys
 
I have just started a post on my car. I bought this car from a forum members father about 3 months ago. Since then i have done a bit of work to the car. Found that the car wasn't getting full throttle. Have had the carburettor rebuilt and readjusted throttle cable. Carried out good tune up. Found car was driving very well but blowing slight amount of blue smoke. I inspection found the valve stem seals had lifted out of place. So off the cylinder head came and replaced all valve stem seals and broken spray bar. Replaced all gaskets and spark plugs and reset the timing. Once i drove the car it has made the biggest difference and no more smoke. I have added a spacer kit and ventilated brake rotors thanks to SMCKA very good help. I have attached some photos of the car when to previous owner sent me some photos of the car and now i have done some work to it. 
 
Cheers Lachie

    Hey Lachie,
     
    All the suspension work is pretty much done, just need to sort out a few things with the engine. It's an ongoing work in progress.
