Car looks realy good, I'm tempted to make mine white but with black arches and wheels, not sure tho may just go with all white like you have

That looks the muts nuts and the bonnet just sets it off. Do you know if it will fit over a 2.0 Pinto with EFI?

Best time to buy parts for your car is when they are available. If you wait, as I have, you may find out that they are no longer available and you will be kicking yourself.

Companies go out of business waiting for people to get around to ordering stuff.

Johnw, the new bonnet does not clear the standard efi manifold. It clears the cam covers, injection rail fuel regulator, rear cam cover breather and everything else but the standard manifold still gets in the way. It is easier to mod the manifold with the new bonnet but that lump of alli is a real pain. My engine is set so the sump is 40mm below the level of the bottom rails. I did post about this a couple of weeks back, there is more info in my last post.

Thats nice to see thanks David after all the work its taken, makes it all worth while. Car is looking real good to and a couple of black stripes will really set it off.....

Have just taken one of the new bonnets out of the mold in Rape Yellow, RAL 1021, and looks really good. Just wish we could be getting single seater bodies out of the mold......

Cheers....Andrew

Hi Enoch, thanks for the answer but are the dimensions for the PINTO SOHC EFI the same as for the DOHC EFI? I thought the DOHC head would be wider and the big lump of alloy sticks out on the opposite side to the Pinto if i'm not mistaken.

looks great david, hell of an achievement, i hope i can get mine to the same stage this summer. Whats your tail lamps, defender? Also have you still got the details of the guy who made your tank? as mine is now in the way of the roll bar stays so il have to mount it in the same place as yours.

cheers

Cheers Shaun. His email address is paultalbot390@blueyonder.co.uk. Mine was a tight fit with the fuel tank / pump / filter, just managed to squeeze the rear stays in.
