Guys starting to get worried now only 6 full working weeks and then EBI here i come ready or not...........

You will see that Iguana now has half an engine installed and some new rubber. Sum Fun New runnber all round and new fuel pump, had her turning over, hopefully she will start next week...... Yellow Bug In racer brand new 2332cc JMR engine 221bhp installed, new tyres fitted, only fuel pump, fuel lines and wiring left....... Lil Snort New Rubber again and hope to get her started next week..... DKP1 car, new brakes to fit shoes, cylinders and lines, then shes ready again..... and the chop has had its tailgate repaired and painted after the fan belt broke at SPA in 2004 and wrecked it and the reay box has been ceramic coated by camcoat and looks great....

But there still heaps of little jobs and Oh i still have to pass my test to drive the transporter.............. not funny, some sleepless nights to come....

Enjoy the pics, Ps if anyone has a spare week on there hand s let me know !

Russell we are working hard on the prototyps of the new OLD GASSER STYLE linkages for your IDA carbs
crossbar system with the new CSP technology
did the EBI limited shifters already arrive in Aberdeen ?
I can install those SmileySmileySmiley

keep up the good work Russell and please DO PASS THE TEST as otherwise you'd have to hire a professional driver
otherwise we don't get to see half your collection at EBI
