Last Thursday night I rolled the roadster into the garage for the first time to finish it off in comfort. Wiring has been started, and I have a...
Thank you, it's been a fun journey.
Wiring loom arrived, I have some work to do .[ATTACH]
Thanks mate!
It is "copper Nickel", and is fine for brake lines. Thanks for your concern.

Thank you!
That cap was given to me locally, with another one that had been chromed. The holes in the one you pointed out has vintage kitchen cabinet...
It definitely is a mess. I've been digging through boxes and searching for parts.

The dual exhaust is all welded up and ceramic coated. I'm waiting on some brake parts to arrive, and I'll get it stopping soon.[ATTACH]
Thank you, yes I'm getting close!
Thank you, this thread has been a good way to keep my progress and photos in one location, I would have lost a lot of photos without it. I have...
That sounds good, you're welcome to come around to check it out. I can't think of anything I need brought over, thanks for the offer!
Hahaha, yes I have a few! Now that I have the one made up for the roadster, I'll copy it, and make one for the coupe.
That would be very cool, I'm a bit far away from that I think unfortunately. I have to learn how to do each process before I do it, so it takes me...
I have had some troubles with the stromberg e-fire distributor. Having spent quite a bit of time with the multimeter testing multiple things, I...

I have had some trouble shooting with my e-fire distributor. It is a 12v three bolt unit. The engine ran for about 20 seconds then lost spark. I...
The generator is a "Rotax" brand out of London. Google came up with aeroplane engines, but nothing that looked similar.
It sure is different, thank you! The point is made of brass, I have no idea what it came off. I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks it's cool!
Well it's been a little while since I've posted any progress. I have recently sold a few things to afford some parts to help my progress. I am...
Sounds good, you're welcome any time!
Yesterday I dragged out some parts for another engine I'm building up, and today I got to mock up the little "Wade" supercharger. I was lucking...
I just did a rough mock up of mine today. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Thank you for sharing, it gives me reassurance I'm doing something right, haha!
Unfortunately there's no crazy story on the wheel covers other than I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to purchase them. Their condition...
It's been a while since I posted any progress. I have the 32 heavy axle under the roadster, 46-48 wishbone, made some progress scrounging parts...
I like this a lot. I have just started an English wheel conversion from a bandsaw built around the turn of the century. It was destined for scrap...
