well the engine is running a few issues with:

throttle cable the engine is idle at 2000rpm

the fuel pressure drops at the top end of the rev range

need to find a good airfilter pipe so its not bodged

but its running i am quite impressed better then a x14xe









got these this morning custom heater control knobs

wor lass took the honour of autosol them lol

one on the left is when they arrived one on right is after



all 3 polished



took the car to get the tracking done too little picture of it on the ramp




thanks for looking

its just the little things that take a while
