Introduction and progress so far

[Eddy]

Few bits arrived from Phil during the week - He is sending bits through as they're ready:



Got a coat of anti rust primer on the drums:



Followed by the first top coat:



Then I started looking at the manifold I need to make for the bike carbs:



Not sure if I should re-space the carbs or just go with tubes at an angle - Any opinions?

The tubes in the pic are from some scrap I had lying around - They match the ID of the carb outlet perfectly, but are thin so there is a bit of a gap between the silicone tube. Will this be ok (or even helpful in getting the angles to work) or do I need some thicker tube?

Cheers

Been doing a bit more painting:

Managed to get a bit of assembly done today, enough to get the back end rolling and the chassis out of the garage to allow for a well needed clean up.

Coming along well. Are they mondeo/escort gti wheels? I have a set of them on my focus but will probably be going on my roadster

yep thats damn good progress.....I'm nearly 3 yrs in and have never had it on wheels so well done that man

[Eddy]

Yeah, the wheels are escort gti 15s. I've seen them on a locost before and think they suit quite well

Well done Eddy, i'm hoping to be at this stage in the next week or so with some luck!
