mk1 tintop with oettinger
the exhaust maniflold has been heat wrapped today by a buddy of mine, he also done a few other bits and bobs to make it run better, ie set up the timing and fuelling properly.
today has been the first time since i have owned this car that i have been able to give it a good run, it pulls really well, bags of low down grunt and pins you back from around 4000revs too
i cant wait to put this on a rolling road to see what its putting out as its bloody rapid!

It's still there. Parked the old girl in the garage in October and she has sat there since. I have still got the comps to refurb for the summer and picked up a set of ronal r15's so I can lose the crappy tsw wheels on there now. Im taxing it next month so I will be making more progress soon

Will do, i have to take it to my mates unit to do the cam belt and water pump as soon as it's taxed so will take a few pics. I want to use it as much as possible over the summer.

Are you keeping the compomotive fh wheels on it as in the pic? Seems only right to re-unite them!!

Old Timer
Yes the comps will go on at some point. The other 3 need a refurb as only that one has been painted and I will need to get them redrilled to 4x100 as they are an odd stud pattern and will be too wide with adapters.
