Anyone have any ideas on making the 26 handle! Not a big fan of scraping my door handles on the road :) cheers

Getting stuck into rebuilding the 4k.. Picking up my twin weber manifol and linkage Saturday morning then I'll just keep kicking along with pulling things apart... Still not seeing this thing finished anytime soon, stay tuned for detail. Will post more restoration/destruction pics tonight :) cheers

Might've sourced a supercharger and intercooler. Fair to say this project is quickly gettin out of hand! From a 4k an 5 SPD and a quick coat of paint and keep it daily to supercharged 5k and full interior retrim and full respray.. Sorry Wallet!!

Looks like we are thinking along the same lines man!

Supercharger and FMIC is a go thanks to the girlfriend who loves buying me presents haha now I just gotta start getting the internals sorted and figure out what diff to Use, in the meantime it's off to be resprayed! Progress is good yah?

[rolla van man]

So now that I've lost my license I've been getting stuck into the old girl. I think I have a theory, the more parts you pull off your Rolla, the more rust you'll find :( hahaha got all my supercharger stuff together and cleared some room in the shed. Getting thru this buil slowly but surely. Hopefully will be done and on the road in the next 12-18 months. Any suggestions or advice on this build is appreciated, I'm a dental technician by trade so 90% I'm guessing what to do next haha

Cheers everyone,

I'd mount your intercooler and run plumbing before paint. You'll hate the world if you have to cut/drill holes into fresh paint.

Yeah that's true haha I think I've found a way around that tho. As I'll only be using 2-2.5 inch pipe for the cooler, there is two holes in the rad support where te horns were. So I've moved the horns and now ive got two holes perfect for the pipes, just gotta work put how to mount the cooler itself :) slowly getting there!

How exactly are you doing this setup? Are you running blower with twin side carbs? Suck through or blow through?

 

Also 2" might be a tad big for those rad support holes, measure them up :P

Cold side of the cooler into a plenum sorta thing that the webers are plumbed into the side of.. Similar to the airbox on an Alfa GTV... and the holes in the rad support are larger then 2".. I have already started doing my pipework for the front mount. :)
