Hi Wünderwolff.

 just stumbled across this thread....this is a cool car you have built there .... style! And I must say one of the cool'est, styled dashboards i have seen. 

cheers. magic

just a little update.

it was a bit of a rush to get it all finished before Drag day, but i made it ( on a trailer though, no MOT yet...) and i trashed all week long every evening to get the engine back in, fit the line lock, reset the torsion bars (twice) and fit carb windows. the result was OK, i am still not 100% satisfied with the details and finish, but what else is winter for, right.

so i made some passes at Bitburg and managed a best of 13.56 with a lot of wheelspin and hop. but it was a good shakedown for the car and also i got the know the car a bit better now.

i will be pulling the engine out again as there seems to be a sealing problem on number 3 cylinder. i am staring to have a list of things to do so watch this space for updates in the future.

Cool, I'm glad someone finally had the guts to take it on the strip.  It was nice to see it running again!

Next year a nice colour on the car?

Good job Nicolas!
Cannot wait to see it finished ;-)

I agree, get it to the paintshop, it deserves a nice coat.

and bring your fixie over, so I can give it the attention it needs

[nicolas]

i need the fixie every day, since the car isn't running 

i have been tinkering on the car though, so i need to put up some picks of what goes one.
