The guidance for MOT testers changed last month regarding LED and HID bulbs but only for headlamps

Hi Barry - your build is looking good, but if you are going to submit the car for an MoT I would suggest you take advice regarding the headlights...

Presumably you still need an oven to bake the powder on, I guess that is where the expense comes in, unless the parts are small enough to fit in a...

Hi it's a 1960 chassis with 1972 1300 twinport and was first registered in 1992 so not sure about exemptions as yet

A starter should draw around 70 to 160 not under load and up to around 260 cranking an engine

The next question you need to ask is how many amps does the starter require. I searched the web but couldn't find anyone that listed the amperage...

Nicely turned out but those headlights do look a little "lost" amongst the space provided for, maybe there is a way to make them look less so by...

Duly saved so I can see what I purchased and fitted versus what I should have purchased! (hopefully not too far way from the chart)

I think I have, but need to check my fibreglass part stash when I get back to the UK

Had to stand on my head for that one Barry! ;) ..... but I see your windscreen’s now fitted and you’re ready ... wishing you all the best for the...

Hi all m o t booked for next sat will let you know how it goes

That’s excellent Steve! Really appreciate that. Obviously happy to buy the one(s) needing the most work. Looking forward to chatting more in a few...

I have 3 (in total) but I am not sure which one I will use, speak to me in a few months time mate.

While we’re on the subject of moulds I don’t suppose anyone’s got the solid sunroof and gutter moulds Mike

Thanks Alex... if I can’t find any I’ll get back to you and see what we can sort out :thumbup: Alistair

I have the mould for those too....

I’m ok for a dash Steve, but am looking for a couple of Mk1 dash pods ... don’t suppose you (or anyone else reading this) has got any pods they’d be...

I wondered when someone would ask that ,its just a bar bolted to the steering arms to keep them straight until I fit the control arms ,it's still in...

The area under the window is already cut away as the fuel tank is in the front, as I did have a storage area over the gearbox where the original tank...

The tilt helps in some ways but it makes the rear bank quite tall when the inlet plenum is sitting on top not that you can see much out the rear...

The perspective shots really help appreciate the work that has been done. What is the blue bar that goes across the rear wheels for?

Nice to see you still have the car. lets hope you get it back on the road soon. Dirk

Looking very good some nice photos. Dirk

Outside photos look great Mike! Thanks for sharing :thumbup: Thinking ahead, and whilst very easy to do retrospectively, a removable panel in the...

The tilt on the Busso engine designed to allow for a more sloping bonnet actually helps with bulkhead clearance :thumbup: Good work sir! Lauren
