Winter Modifications

[Guest graham.g]

I have started my winter mods on Sunday 5th April, most of you would have finished by now but with moving house and most of the winter renovating It.

The house still has a long way to go but I,v taken time out to work on the Indy. My aim is to have it ready for Stoneleigh

Modifications are -

 

Full respray

 

New stone guards

 

new clocks and dash

 

R1 carbs fitted to 2.0 redtop engine

 

fit windscreen

 

make a hood

 

 

 

The car is nearly primered up, clocks have been wired in, dash is nearly complete,R1 carbs are fitted but probably need tuning, hoping for some nice weather to get the top coats of paint on. Then reassembly it with some new bits.

Not decided yet, Andy can you ask them on Monday if they do R1 carbs. Its running really well but I think it may be on the rich side.

 

Thanks Graham

Powder Blue would look nice with that Orange

[Guest mastarforth]

no problem mate

 

Will ask him when I drop mine off,

[Guest Eric]

what colour?

 

not fair to guess, seeing as how you already told me

 

but should look good at le mans, as long as you don't get mistaken for a gt40,

or a reliant robin for that matter

Got all the decals ready to go on Tony, just need some dark blue pinstripes.

 

Well I,m done for the day, not bad got all the blue on, got some dust, and the spray gun spat out a bit of moisture on the back panel , but that can be sorted.
