  1. It seems that something is up with the uploader. I was trying to attach some pics to a post but when i click on attach it does nothing.

     

    I've tried both types of uploader and my firefox browser is up to date.

     

    I've never had trouble before. Any ideas?

  2. I know how you are feeling and i haven't even had the panel work done yet. Sometimes i just wanna throw it in, but i don't want to be one of those people that says they are gonna finish a car and never does.

     

    I also have parts sitting around everywhere. I can only hope they still look good when i need them, haha.

     

    Hang in there mate.

  3. I'm in very much the same boat. I have a set of twin aisans and a 5K in the shed ready for a mild rebuild. I plan to stick with the original carbs because they are original and i already have them. If i had a webber in the shed i would probably go with one of those.

     

    I can't imagine the stock carbs are that bad, the factory used them for extra performance so they have to be better than a factory single carb. Don't they? Sure it'll never be a world beater performance wise but it won't be with a webber either.

     

    If you have the factory twins stick with those. If not the world is your oyster.

  4. The wheel wasn't cheap, bearing in mind i have seen an SL wheel go for $500 on ebay with a cracked rim and no horn button. The freight to get it here is the real killer. Anyway I'll keep this updated when it arrives.

     

    As for the carbs, haven't looked at them. Will really have to get motivated one day and start doing something on the car.

  5. Looks like i have another SL steering wheel on the way. Once I've viewed my new acquisition and decided which one to keep one will be up for sale if anyone is keen.

    The car was returned to me after sitting at the panel beaters for a month and having only the roof done. With a lot of other shit going on at the moment the car has been sitting for about 10 months waiting for another panel beater. One day...

  6. Considering what the paint looks like underneath I don't really see the point?

     

    so how many factory metallic gold ke70's have you seen getting around then?

     

    Haven't taken any notice and don't really care. The question you have to ask is, what will it look like when you're done and is it worth all the effort?
