Had some photos of the body just out of the mould, the wheel archs have been covered in (Not shown in photos, more to come) and when fitted to the chassis, the new ones will be cut out and tubs fitted.  |

Its a Fiat Topolino and was done by Paul Bland up on Anglesey. Modding it to fit will be between Steve and myself. |

As some of might have noticed that I was up Steve and Lesley's on the weekend, it was not a visit for Steve's birthday, but I had to take some bits and pick up John Munday's (Thanks John) tube bender from Planet Bristol.
The main bit was my box, torque converter and bell housing, In the end, as I need to get the borrowed one back, I will take off the adaptor, refit the FMX housing and use this to set it up, then buy and fit the Superbell near when its finished.
We have been a little let down in the top tube bending department and Steve has decided to do it himself (Hence the bender).
I also has a little birthday gift gave Steve one of grinder/plenisher from Lidl's.
That is about that for my car, but we attacked the Black Pig Too's engine (Steve can tell you more on his thread if he want to) but at the end of the day, the crank, pistons and rods are in and it turning very nicely.
It was a quickish change and it was party night down at Steve & Lesley's local for a pint (and a coke)
Steve and Graham (The big man) are going on a epic journey next Saturday to not only pick up my body, but to drop off the Moggy to have a mould taken then a body made for the other car sitting in the shed.
Sunday started off very slow with Steve nearly having to wedge his eyes open, then one of Lesley's getting near famous and very tasty breakfasts, buy the time we had finished this and sorted a few things out, it was time for me to hit the M4 pay my £5.50 to get back into Wales.
More news soon

over two months since my last posting, so a little update. It is a little slow at the moment, but at least its forward slow. It was my intention to not touch the engine until it was up and running, but that gone through the roof. As you know I have removed and sold the 4v manifold and got a 2v Holley Dominator one instead. I have bought roller rockers and adjusters for which the rocker posts have to be machined to fit, the heads have been taken off and someone is looking to see if they can do it.   all the old valves and springs have been put to one side  I ordered and received a cam kit which includes all the bits to match the cam.   After looking at the old valves and pushrods, when money allows a new set will be ordered up with a complete gasket set and a sfi ballancer and flexyplate. the complete engine will be completely stripped down and rebuilt with new parts where needed (When I bought the engine, the bottom end had not long been done, but I will have a look anyway) More news when it happens and my site will be updated (much the same as this posting,) before the weekend. |

Some more stuff came through the garage door the other day and some good news.
As you know Lesley & Steve's Black Pig Too is up and running (And came 2nd last meeting) a date has been set to start the chassis, this will be the weekend of the 31s July/1st Aug. the main rails will be bent and layed out on the jig.
The bits that came were the new valves and pushrods.
