looking goos kev. so when the first outing?
not sure cos the rear drums are still locking up
you not adjusted them agaim?
no dunno if they need to bed in or what hit the brakes hard and the ass steps out not good
did you sort out the pipes. like back to original?
aye ran 2 new lines going to the right sides now do you think the front could have anything to do with it
is the front braking ok?
brakes sorted :)
finished yet kev?
well i got a back window so yes but i want a paint job
any updates on this?
going for a nice paint job soon. dont think it will see the track this year tho.
had a wee road test last night. i took it out my work where its going to be sprayed and finnished. had a blip round the estate and it is quite fast i nearly lost my fibreglass bonnet lol. pics to follow of the paint job
took the rear beam of today and fitted poly bushes. also took my tank of thought i had a leak but seems to be the sender unit leaking. whilst all that lot is off im going to red lead the floor and spay it either white or back.
took some pics of the chassis legs cos im just glad they aint rotten.
