Well, thanks to JAMIE and his sweeping out of the garage, i've decided to once again have a go at doing up the panelvan. :blinks:
THIS time it's going to be functional, i'm planning to have a go at some sort of racing in it. Eventually. No, really I mean it... ;)
It seems others here have a good time being out of pocket and spending little time with loved ones... (uh, I mean having an absolutely f@$king fantastic time belting around, dickwaving and fixing things when they break! :D)
I'm planning to get the engine rebuilt or at least freshened up around the cam and pistons i've bought. I'll probably go and visit Mr Frawley again, this time with a slightly better understanding of what I want, and some specs which he can build around/for.
Stupidly, I threw out the Holley I had lying around, because we were moving and at the time I didn't think i'd need it again, so i'm on the hunt for a suitable carby. :D The 5K in my old yellow rolla had a 32/36 DGV Weber on it, and I really liked the sound and power it gave the engine. I'll also be after some extractors.
Oh, and any tips from the Gods on anything i'll need to know would be sweet.
Specs:
4K with soon to get:
- ACL 040 oersize pistons
- Waggott 212 grind camshaft
- no smoke :D
Body needs rust repair, TLC and grey Hammertone respray (wishing there)
Electrics need looking at, instrument cluster no worky, lights etc.. (HOOray)
Cobra racing seat - Blue :dance:
Race-spec interior (IE: f@$k all ;))
Let The Party Begin :dance:
Cheers, Matt :D
