I got bored with a black engine, so I went for a colour that was going to look period....
from rusty old engine to shiny enallemed one...
(yes, I know the valves are in the wrong way round!
)
Also got some new and old bits for the build.... Early Vitesse 1600 Header tank which I loved on my old sammio, poly bushes for the chassis and a full accuspark distributer and electronic ignition kit with plugs, leads and blue coil...
And this is my BMW e30 pedal set complete with servo...
and my TR7 handbrake that has convenient flat mounts and just needs an appropriate nut welded to the cable end so it fits the herald standard handbrake cable (same as I had on my Sammio)
This week will be rebuilding the engine and painting the gearbox so that is all ready to slot into the chassis once it is stripped, painted and rebuilt.
