Well this girl has been in the works since 1995. I am owner number 3 and have the great job of finishing her off. I've had it since oct 07 and have enjoyed my time this far.
I hope you enjoy the picks, this will put me where im upto. I still have big plans on finishing off.
Now keep in mind the first set of shots are not digital, yes they are standard film!! i know, hard to believe, but this was started in 95'!
Carbies (dual weber 44idf's SPAIN MADE!!!) are here and ready to be bolted on. Can't wait to heat her purr, though not sure if its gonna have enough go for me.
Wiring this beast has been good fun. Its a mix between a 68 and 71 model wiring diagram, but using a 58 wiring loom!! Good fun indeed. So far so good. Once my headlights get here i shall see the efforts in action. I've never been so excited by tail lights before once i got a battery in to test and check voltages!!!
Cheers CT, BugIn...i wish, i read through Dasdubbers thread the other day to get some info on the cup 3 wheels, and his build started in may/june and he'd hoped to get it finished by christmas!
I'm trying not to be to optimistic otherwise i may get impatient. These things snowballs, and the pocket runs short.
Just ordered some 911 lights for this puppy and some S/S bumpers. It all hits the pocket!
It was time to get the front end dropped, so i got the beam narrowed 2inches and got two new adjusters installed. Supposedly only having one adjuster is illegal? Let alone the stiffer ride which im not really after.
To really get the suspension feeling right i got some dropped spindles installed (the chrome spindles i had are in the for sale section). The car looks good dropped, but its mayeb too low. Theres no engine in the back at the moment so it may pop up a little once i get it back in.
I also got two new front callipers and a new master cyclinder installed. My advice is do not leave your brake system sitting around empty for too long. The rubbers in the M/C had eaten away and wouldn't hold prime.
I am curious though as to brake upgrades people have done and if the larger you go the quicker it locks up. I undertand there is a relationship between brake fade and temp and so on, but if you go bigger, do the front wheels lock up easier. (Depending on foot pressure etc)
