Puf the magic 'wagen

Righty ho, the 2011 update!

After the old dud engine fiasco I'm finally getting this car back on the road. I got the car moved up to Essex so I could work on it by the wonderful person that is Mike Outhwaite.



I also purchased myself a tidy little 1.3 SPI engine



which i fitted!



For the first time in 6 months my car has a complete engine

So it may not run at present, but it just needs plumping and plugging back in.

Now, on to the toys!

I have these



and this



and will be picking these up on Friday. they'll be copper when I'm done with them.





All associated stuff is there too, but I need to make an inlet manifold (got the base plate already) and spend some money at Jetex to build a full stainless system.

I'm reet excited

Wow!

Plans are afoot!

Cool!

Good work Dom

Sweet ride.....well done mate.

I dig your steering wheel - Absolutely love your new rims aswell :mrgreen:

Why not just stick with the yellow - Could be quite nice i think.

Also quite like the thrashy look and the chequered front/bonnet - Thumbs up!

Are those ZX6R carbs you got?

Ta everyone

Steering wheel came from a scrap yard - £10 well spent

Yellow's a no go - I don't want clashes. Copper/bronze will be nice and period I think.

The new red trumpeted carbs are GSXR600 SRAD carbs. They've been dynojetted to stage 1 so hopefully I won't need to get the jets redrilled for the car.

As I left them this afternoon:



What's awaiting them tomorrow:

LOVE the wheels…

I don't think Halfrauds rattle cans will do them the justice they deserve though!

Ta, fell in love when I saw them.

Halfords do some shoddy stuff, but in fairness their spraypaint has done me well. Certainly been better than hammerite and plastikote in my experience.

Final result tomorrow!

Be waiting for the final result but I think the yellow looked alright on the car.

I get what you mean, they looked much better than I expected them to. Still, they're not quite right yellow.

It's nice to finally be doing work on it again.
