Mondays realy do suck, but it only 5 days left at work to next weekend kick inn :P

I see that it haven't been much traffic on the lounge this weekend. Is everybody busy in their garage this winter? Anyone wants to share a little information about what their plans for the (race) summer is?

my weekend was busy, but not with my project. Saturday I've had to spend time on my previous daily driver jap-shit. Sunday I spent hours helping the owner of the car in "Secret Project?" rescueing his car from the water.

But I can post a poor cell-phone picture of my clean, meaning no paint, cal-llok project  ;)

Bought without engine, gearbox, gauges, steering wheel and shifter.

I will use my gearbox from the Ghia as is, and upgrade my 2387cc with new CB Competition Eliminators (11 compression) and MSD AL7. Rest of the stuff, i've got.

No cooling, just gas, gas, gas. My next choice is wether to go for 48 IDAs or JayCee 52s.

Is not the rule "the bigger the better" when it comes to carbs?

What a season this will be! Good luck with your projects!

Found some big dents in the roof and in front of the driver door, some is allready taken care of, the rest will soon be gone once again :-)

Oh, yeah forgot about the dent in front of the door. Here is a ghetto scan of it when I was stripping the car.

Quick and dirty!
