Yes must always be round.

I’ve got a switch where the choke is normally located. Think I did a post about it a while back.

The bracket I have is a home made job but I actually have a gen poor condition rally pack bracket im keeping and will make a rep of if I ever switch over. Or if it doesn’t rust down to nothing.

Thanks I think the shine is photoshop induced. The photos were not mine but taken by a photographer that was around during the day.

deano
agree about the spotlights,mk2 look best with some
 
 
Actually I would not change anything in your color, stance, wheel dia, offset, trim, looks totally sorted in my book.
Keep enjoying it Robbie! 

Thanks mate, from an exterior point of view im pretty happy. Next up i need to get this LSD in and the brake done but wallet needs to recover from the renos.

What LSD are you considering? One of the parts on the shopping list for me at the moment



Ive gone the 3j plated NXG LSD, its still sitting built up at my mechanics i should really get him to throw it in. Ive been eying off some 3j halfshfts also as future proofing.

If doing it again i would maybe get the same diff but with 18 spline and get half shafts to suite as ive read they are thicker and the best you can get in the English axle without moving to something else.

Yep just need to get it in the workshop, might organize that in the next few weeks.

if it wasnt already on mikes bench built up i would have marty, booking in with him in 2 weeks.

Thanks for the offer tho. Im sure there is something on the car id like tinkered with and you do have skills

I’d be looking at cam first, downdrafts can still be used to make some pretty good power. The way I see it is x number of horses can only bolt through the gate with standard cam but x+2 can get through if the gate is open a little longer or wider. 


 Not sure if that helps or if I’ve just confused the matter! 

Cam upgrade, an adjustable cam wheel, webers or EFI , and get the compression up there to nearly 11;1 , pintos respond very well to high compression. Ignition, if you must. I only ever used a Sierra/transit electric dizzy and recurved to 32deg I think it was . Exhaust to be 2.25in minimum with good dogleg mufflers ( no hotdogs, they sap power) . Webers do go out of sync often even with the Magard twin cable arrangement, you'll be a master of your carbs after a few thousand Ks, a piece of hose and a screwdriver each month to bring them back in line. Carb synchronizer tools are for lazy people lol 😆
