Nobbys miami blue mk2 xe bike carbs

[Nobby]

Hi guys well finally got another nova after missing them since my last xe.
So i won this little beaut off ebay for £240 with aload of bits. Have since made £100 back off the so the it now owes me £140 .

I came with a dodgy fitting mk1 front end which has all been removed and will be refitted with a mk2 front. The car has had a bump and damaged the front panel so that will be replaced along with seam welding the engine bay.
From looking at it just it will need 4 welding repairs, 1 on both n/s and o/s rear sill where it meets the arch 1 near the front n/s strut and a patch down the n/s chassis rail, not bad me thinks. Am taking it to work on monday to start the welding and paint the engine bay.

Plans are -
seam weld engine bay
fit xe on bike carbs from the belmont
Standard looking outside
15inch steelies
v6 front brakes
fit rear cage and strip out rear but carpet it
maybe some buckets and harness
some decent suspension
paint engine bay boot and bonnet

heres some piccys
