Re: NEC Restoration Show - 22-24 March 2024
That looked like a very nice stand! Hi Pete - is your car fully painted already? Neil. Yep - some disappointing blistering on the wings but they will have to wait for quite a while - other than that it's ready to be reassembled as the project rolls on (at its usual glacial pace!) Our stand features...

Re: Elite restoration begins!
Thanks guys! I'm using conservative cams (factory 107s) and the supercharger will not produce much boost, but I'm hoping for about 250hp and with useable torque from about 2k rpm.

Re: Throttle Cable replacement
I remember the outer section of the original cables being particularly stiff by modern standards. Good one Kev.
