I am going for a standard 1600 Twin Port. Wallet is not allowing for anything more exotic.

Been working on getting stuff off the old pan, as I am going to be using another pan. This is dirty and hard work to do alone. This is also the time I have had a big realisation... I have nowhere near the little bits and bobs and thingies that I need to complete the car...All the grommets, rubbers, bolts and nuts need replacing as it is old and rusted.

The old pan almost robbed of all the bits I need. Need to take the gearbox out and all that goes with it... Yet, again..The realisation sets in every time I work on Beasty, that my estimates were way off, both in time, labour and costs...

Whateve your estimate was double it and then........you multiply by seven. You should be close to the ballpark !!!
Hang in there,..it does get better,......when your medication kick in !!!!

Nice project I have built a few chop bugs myself
Have you collected your bug yet from pb
Make sure you got lights that work with the holes
