Really like this build, everything looks so good! 

 

+1 on the mag feature, it looks just as good as ones that get featured in there.

Few more bits done. I started doing a bit more to the fuel lines although I can't do much more until the carb is on now.

Rad fitted.

I got a clear weather shield from Roofless which I think suits the engine bay well. I am quite impressed with them. I ordered a pink one for my clubby and a dark red one for a mates Hornet and they all look really good!

I also grabbed a inlet manifold off mike which is much better then my other one. Needs a wee bit grinding flat to fit but its 100% better then the other one. Plan is to get that on today although after a mates birthday yesterday I am not feeling to productive haha.

 

Cheers!

Right well the head is off the engine and at MiniSpeed as there are sorting out the snapped stud.

 

So couldnt do a great deal to the engine but I did plonk the starter motor on.

A mate came over and we had a mess about with the windows.

Look good I think although I do need to get some new window runners.

 

Fingers crossed MiniSpeed sort the head today so i can get it back 2moz and start go get the engine back together again.

 

Ta.
