I watched it this morning, can't beat a bit of milling and lathe work.
Heads up for the next instalment of project binky - out for general release tonight at 20:00

Apologies for the delay in updating - there will be more soon.
Decided that the the fuel tank needs modifying to avoid the front clamshell being removed to access the tank, so a new cap is being welded on and will have a hole in the clam it’s filled through.
I gave up on the idea of centrelock wheels, and had the front drive flanges lightened, and modified to 4” PCD, which allows my new wheels to go on;
Debating whether to add some retro style Manta 400 vents into the front clam, so I acquired a laser cut template;

Discovered a major problem with my alternator, so I now have a brand new one, ready to refit with some new wiring.
The throttle bodies are now modified and ready to bolt back on, so in due course I’ll do some photos and update.
In other news, you may have seen in other threads that I’m planning to convert to coil on plug using Audi R8 coilpacks, and eventually have all the fuel and brake plumbing redone by Mitch at Proline Motorsport.
I’m also planning to change the front suspension links over to the Hangar 30 kit.

Progress on the Nova partially delayed by getting sidetracked, a friend of mine gifted me this Aprilia Habana scooter when he sold his house, and couldn't be bothered to take it with him;
I am far too easily distracted.
