Where did you get that little choke bracket thing?

[jack_marshall]

Bit of a trip today with Tom, Im sure he will fill you all in very soon.

[Tom Booth]

Well, after spotting a bargain on the bay, I thought I'd go for it. Fancied one for a while too





It's a full 1275 Metro turbo engine, pretty much unmolested

It won't be going in for a good few months thou, shall be having a rebuild and polishing it up a bit.

Going to have the chambers enlarged a bit (26ccish) so I can run a bit more boost through it. As well as a 4 pin diff!

Should be fun Big thanks to Jack aswell for comming the journey to collect it too.

Wibble wobble, wibble wum.

Is it a heritarse lid?

Crack out the old U-POL easy 1 to straighten that bad boy!!

[Tom Booth]

Upol easy 1 my arse....



Quality is alright on it to be honest Edges need a bit of work but it's as to be expected to be honest. Should look better then the mk3+ lid.
