yah, love the holiday season, I can actually work on my own stuff,
Today my father in law and I swapped out the engine in this and dropped in a second hand unit that I got off Kitch, a little carb and points swap over onto the new unit and it cranked right up, it runs like a sweet little A series should, doesnt blow smoke and doesnt rattle, although we scratched our heads for a while pondering a funny metalic noise that turned out to be the alloy coke can being sucked inside out with the breather tube lol. (the old motor didnt do that, so this one must have much better compression)
So wish I'd kept this , ran well when I had it , just couldn't justify keeping it when I had nowhere to garage it at the time , one of the best coupe shell I've ever had the pleasure of owning.
