Early Christmas present for ‘Her indoors’

[Rob]

[/attachment]Just bought this for Sharon, her Christmas present
We fancy doing a few track days
I don’t think she will let me near it once ready
Purchased from a LCR member a few weeks ago
Very pleased with it
Got a nice twin cam for it and straight cut box

Looks like a tidy car that Rob - try getting that down the chimney... :wink:

Nice Rob. Did you buy it as a rolling shell?

Nice Rob. Did you buy it as a rolling shell?

Yes it was a rolling shell
It's Bertil's old car he had a Cosworth engine in it

Iv'e had a real good twin cam engine for this for a while. Well sorted AX block on twin 50's
It's dry sumped at moment but i'm still thinking about that one ?
Also got a Quaiffe straight cut gearbox so i'm 75% there

To be honest I think I have everything to get it done, also got parts to convert to RHD if needed

We even like the colour scheme so Wayne is only going to do a couple of very minor local rust repairs

Looking like this will be up and running before 391C

The buyer keeping the color scheme was a condition for selling!
The blue is Ford performance blue, why getting rid of that?

 

[Rob]

Colours will stay the same Bertil

Do you like the wheels 6J on 205/60 tyres
Very snug ?

Wide steels are always right! However I am used to having black 5,5" on that car, has been like that for ages but silver looks more period.

ideal for the mrs going on shopping trips

 

[Bertil]

I guess the engine came with a matched manifold so going RHD will probably be nessasary. Keep the drysump will be a very cool car when finished!

I wouldn't bother converting it to RHD. You soon get used to drive on our roads in LHD
