Rack Finished
The beauty of a good finished conversion is all in the details. Steering rack finished and ready to fit when I get around to the rebuild.
Throttle Bodies Test Fitted
Good bit progress today. Fitted the inlet manifold and throttle bodies to the head and mocked up the trumpets to show the lack of clearance. Measured up and then craned the engine out so I could get busy with the angle grinder. Whilst it was out thought that I would take a photo of the... Continue Reading →

Quick Rack Painted

Wheels Painted
Dropped some wheels off for refinishing at The Wheel Specialist in Manchester last weekend and picked them up first thing this morning. Here are the OZ Superleggeras - I like them a lot! These wheels were one of the first upgrades I bought for the 16v car and they have hardly ever been used. The... Continue Reading →
8v VOSA Certified
New compensator arrived on Tuesday with an adjustment screw. The new spring that the adjustment screw threads into is on a long back order from Peugeot. Painted the body of the compensator up to give it some rust protection and then took off the old one. The two M12 unions came off okay once the... Continue Reading →
