That looks sweet!
Plenty of hard work gone into it I'm sure! How do the ITB's sound? |
Quote:
The ITB's sound awesome, in fact the whole thing sounds mean! It was only this Sunday gone that I managed to get her idling on her own by tinkering with the emerald, she needed a lot more fuel! Some flames have been popped when revved :D |
I like it, it's got some attitude.
Is that a Lenham hard top or some other make. |
Quote:
I think the hard top is an Ashley, but we're not entirely sure. It was buried in a chaps garden covered in weeds and had been for around 15 years, so it's come up really well. The ex-touring car spoiler mixes things up a bit too. |
Awesome:) enjoyed reading the whole build on the other forum...Sooo much attention to detail with everything!
|
Ah yeah, Ashley used to do a similar top for Midgets.
I'm glad you said the mgb was bland, you'll be hunted down for that, lol |
Thanks Ritchy. I'll try and get a vid of the engine running when I'm next at the unit, although saying that it's booked for the rolling road on the 16th so fingers crossed it'll put out a few horsies and I can get a vid then.

Yeah, after looking at Ashley's it's most similar to them but still not 100% sure what it is. |
Awesome, not keen on the plastic covers over the headlamps but otherwise fantastic!

Love it, also love how far it's came since I last looked at its build thread. Excellent graft bud!
|
Ta :D I'm looking forward to see whether all the effort was worth it when we eventually get to drive it!
|
Great to see it nearly there, followed the build on the "other side".
When and where, do you plan on the first outing?? |
Nice work, remember seeing some k-series MGs at Stoneleigh the other year. I also remember the Cosworth one as well, looked awesome. Love the attention to detail in the build. Wish I kept a photo build of my V8 Chevette.
|
wow some effort went into that,well done love the colour,looks amazing

Good power Adam, hope you have some fun on track with it, be a treat
|
Not bad ;)
|
Good result.
|
More than I thought!
Torque looks good too and over a good spread too! |
Good results, well done to you and your dad.
:clap::clap::clap: |
We're completely chuffed, apparently it sounds phenomenal too. Should be interesting to see how she drives.
|
Well now we've seen shots of the engine then my figure would have been a lot higher then first quoted! Good result! Power to weight figures must be impressive?
|
Honestly no idea what it weighs, I think as standard it's around 920kg but then we've lost the rubber bumpers which weigh a tonne, put in the roll cage, the engine is lighter, added the hard-top although that's all fibreglass, removed the boot lid, polycarb windows and no window mechs....
I would guess under a tonne. Will get it weighed when we're up at Brands with it. |
Looks like a right wee monster that.must be great fun to Chuck about.
|
Did the tracking today and took some wee vids....
