Tonight i painted the underside to match the roll cage and roof hulk green. Also bought these bad boys they are flexible leds which have white and orange leds in. Im going to use them as white for reverse lights and orange as indicators. If you watch video they are like the new audi sequential indicators. Cant wait to get the car finished. Engine yet to be re painted kawasaki green.

Well last night i worked on miffy then eko i managed to paint the engine and the alternator guard i made.

Just a couple of thoughts on the guard, what supports it at the pulley end because it will move when you're driving especially over less than smooth roads. Secondly, have you given it sufficient clearance to make sure it doesn't affect the cooling. And thirdly, I think it looks great.

Hi thanks the clearance is quite good if you look at pic above as for rigidity once bolted its solid. I will keep any eye on it once cars in use but as for now think itll be ok fingers crossed.

Tonight i painted the starter and rocker cover and fitted the engine back together. Looking good now and i wont run the risk of taking my knee cap off with the alternator guard fitted.

Some over spray to sort on silver parts

Got the black mesh to go with ekos grille. Been thinking of changing my 1275 for a honda conversion just need to know what ill need to buy to do this and where also how much my 1275 spi with twin choke 45 webber and all ancillaries would be worth only 58,000 on clock. How much is a rough price for a conversion.

[rhys-89]

Well as a major turn of evens i have now sold ekos low milage 1275 set up to (matta777) on hear. As eko is now going honda v-tec 1.6 dohc out of a honda crx so long as i can seal the deal today :).
So hears how eko looks now my flip front will have to be re thought /configured to suit the allspeed front frame.( i managed to pull out the 1275 with my engine crane and flipfront still in place (very close lol)





I think once the front subframes removed from eko ill paint the hulk green on the bulkhead and inner flitches.

[rhys-89]

Well hello again been a little while as ive been working on miffy which is now for sale. (Need to get eko bk in the garage) hear is his new engine areiving next week. A honda b18c4 with 88000 miles so pretty good find. Will be a slow process until miffys gone.

[rhys-89]

Ok so to tonight I removed the flip front and after disconnecting all small items I managed to remove the subframe. Very happy with progress
