The fink is one wild race. I built a commercial shed for a guy out on the Birdsville track that raced in the fink. He was on a 600cc (hypo) quad after
breaking his femur the previous year.
That engine would go well in Tricia's kombi I think??

Thanks guys for the positive comments, looks like a real quality build so I am very happy with it, but unfortunately I've got plenty to do to get
this thing together.
Damo and anyone else that is interested are more than welcome for a look and a dak dak chat, even a beer might be found, i'm up near Noosa, 1 1/2
hrs north of Bris. Funny I didn't see it on ebay, but yes, the guy, an old mate of mine, was also selling another buggy with G50, a arm front end and
full tilt everything...the box alone owes him over $10k. My engine had a huge Hewland behind it.....mmmmmmmm

Wish I knew Dave, also valve sizes and cam spec are unknown to me. Found out last night that was originally a Fat Performance built package, which
explains all the trick hardware.

Bonds engine was a FAT built engine also, its a 82x105 combo giving 2840, an 84x105 gives 2909 an 86 stroke is possible but a tight squeeze, bond's
82 stroke requires a reduced base circle cam when it comes time to build it. Matt you should find some Carillo's in that for sure and possibly a
scat crank, bonds engine uses porsche 53mm rod journals, and could only find new rod bearings for that through Pelican Parts. Will you be doing a
dissasembly for inspection purposes?

Them be big numbers Damo...he he.. I was told Scat crank and Pauter rods but I wont count on anything till I get a look first hand. I certainly wont
mind a set of Carillos though. Did Bond's come from B Mac? If so it
probably was also from the same guy before him.
I am tempted to pull it down for a look, but as it's only done a couple of hundred k's since a freshen, I'm going to concentrate on the rest of the
build before opening it up. Got lots to do....

I might be a skirt....for now. I am already wondering if a turbo from a 2.3 audi that ran 2bar boost stock will give me enough boost for the 3liter. .

Here is a pic as I bought her from this forum, 'very little or no rust'
Then a pic a little more recent

Thats no excuse Matt , you would have known it was rusty the first moment you layed eyes on it, i'mm betting you just told the good wife that to keep

Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel
