Big update. Well it's mot'd, tax and insured. All set for l2b next weekend. Just need to finish running the engine in, do the oil and filter and reset the tappets and it'll be good to go.
Had it set up at Baldwins rolling road last week and he said it was chucking out 93bhp which I though was fairly good considering it had done any work other than a few start ups and only drove to the other side of the yard, and it's running on dizzy and coil ATM too.


I've also fitted my 100+s, arch trim and wind deflectors. Wheels give a nice little bit of poke, just need to get all the suspension on now to give some camber as that's all it's lacking in my opinion.
Picture time, only the one as I was cold and it's filthy.

Will be getting washed over the weekend if the weather is good enough. Then it'll be a quick buff next Saturday morning :proud:

Looking really good, I'm glad you replaced those angel eyes for some period looking lights, they fit in much better.

Cheers. I'm glad I changed them too. One of many impulse buys, like a set of number plates. Cheers Jon!

I really fancy some retro spots now but don't have a clue what to look for. Fancy some cibies or at least the copies but I can't justify the cost.

I like the old spot lights that have the blue centre. No idea what they are called though.
