haha you know it

I have a clutch pedal! shame it doest do anything....

swapped over pedal boxes today. looking at pulling the motor and box out over the long weekend and see how I get on, might get it back together again!

More progress!!

3 pedals!


Bonnet off


Radiator out, everything disconnected from engine


Auto shifter etc out



Current sate of affairs/state of chaos in the shed



Need to get my axles stands back of Joe (cough cough) so I can get it off the ground then pull out driveshaft etc and disconect shit from gbox (speedo cable, wiring, vacuum shit).

Then grab engine crane from the mighty vivaspeed and rip that bitch out.

Repco was having a sale today (25% of shit, including oil) so though of stocking up on that for the swap but Im too lazy.

I think (famous last words....) I have everything I needs, the only think I know needs doing it modifying or making an adaptor for the cross member. Will line shit up and take it from there.

New carbs and manifold, cheers Tony!





bit more progress tonight
 
mocked up carbs on a spare head, fit perfect!


 
 
pulled intake and exhaust off to aid engine removal. also got rid of any excuse for sticking it back together with original carb for start up....
 

 
 
 
nice to see engine has had a once over at some stage (old owner mentioned this I think)
 

 
 
 
and couldn't help myself
 

Too easy!


bet you cant wait to rev that up & change gears manually

haha you have no idea!

By far the coolest 120y coupe I've ever seen!

What are those crabs off man?

This is shaping up well, nice work bro

cb900 aparently. seems to agree with google as well. pretty sure they are 32mm

"Crabs", hehe.

I've seen a few bike carbs being setup on cars lately but yet to see any running, be interested to hear your impressions when you get it all going.
