cheers for all the replys :mrgreen:

 

im actually at the other end of the country to the car at the moment, but am heading back down in 2 weeks, havent seen it since novmeber!! getting withdrawl haha

 

going to hopefully fit the 14x8s, bit worried about clearance....and then drop it another inch or two depending on how the wheels sit. plan was to pull it off the road and to a respray in cream (i have all the paint) and tidy everything up, but i dont have the funds to do it properly, and i want to drive it for the summer

its a tight fit haha, especially by the brake reservoir, not sure what il do there. just need to get some studs, and a fuel pressure regulator and then start the ordeal that is setting up the throttle linkages haha wish me luck.

 

also, have decided to convert to alternator after burning out my generator (or something). so car is on hold for a while. am flat out at uni so will probably have to wait till study week :twisted::twisted: haha

Your gonna have to run trumpets on them carbs ar they won't run properly :sad: ....you need a short inlet manifold and then fit the longest trumpets you can :thumbsup:

Posted

yeh ill have to come up with something to get the reservoir out of the way, and then there will be plenty of room for a nice set of trumpets

Posted

cheers mate :thumbsup:

 

plan is to get the carbs running, then lower the front some more, and then eventually (when money allows) get a set of 195/45s to bring the car closer to the ground. then by then ill have no money and just drive it until something else breaks haha
