Yeah, I'm itching to get back out in mine now & start tidying it up, (it was never meant to be a ratrod). Been pouring with rain here all day though & I've got to work outside. Typically, the sun's come out this evening.

baffles out of exhaust as well, was going to leave them spiral baffles in after removing stainless wool, but they rattled like hell, so its back to just 2 silencers each side with a balance pipe.

as you've seen the minx made its debut today.
a few problems to sort,
new distributor,
new rubber donut/centre bearing on propshaft,
rear arches need cutting more or spring hangers need to be longer or narrower rear tyres because with vehicle full tyres rubbing on arches realy badly.
over heating, which could be the timing out due to distributor or mismatched sender and gauge.
