Title: '52 Cal look from Belgium.
Post by: carlito421 on December 27, 2010, 19:57:07 pm
Hi, I'm Carlito from Belgium.

I hope to begin the 2011 season with my :
Sedan 52 bug with 1776cc type1 engine with A1 muffler, 40IDF dual carb, 8*31 gearbox and front disc break in wide 5.
Interior with 2 Simca Rallye siets, Speedwell sterring wheel, Hurst copper straight shifter and Blaupunkt Derby radio  ;D
It ride with repro black set of Radar wheel (but I don't like that. If anyone want to trade...)
What it remains me to do...
-New custom interior
-found a Autometer #3903 and maybe a set of nice gauges
-change back tires by 205*70*15
-found a set of cecurity belt like Simsom
-found a nice set of wheels.

Well, it's now in my garage... Problem with carburators, impossible to have a good regulation.
I'm sad of it cause Ninove is compromised for me. :'(

 :D Gregg, Ron and Dyno ask me "if I reely want it" cause they have the impression to damage the dash.  :D
I respond that they are legends and I'm reely proud that they damage my dash.

Sorry for my bad english...
Carlito.
