I've collected a few parts for the build, I'll share on a regular basis, when stuff comes in.
Floor pans, for the driver's side floor as there are a couple of decent rust holes there. (This will be a quick fix as the entire pans will most likely be replaced later for some high quality ones..
Pre-62 tail lights. The first bastardization.. I'd like some T-bars, and I think the smaller taillights fits better than the bigger ones which would be correct for my model year.
And im sure i'll manage to piss someone off by it. :lol:
Gotta keep a cam on the shelf! I think the FK-8 will suit my purpose.
And ONE Weber IDF 44. Made in Bologna of course. Currently on a mission of finding another one. well. At least within a few years..
A couple of expensive bits from the US, A CNC-milled POM shifter bushing and an aluminium shift coupler. Some really nice looking pieces!
Sheet metal for the spare wheel well, as mine has disintegrated:
Renovation kit for the carburettor and gasket kit for the engine.
A few little things like rubber bumper bracket seals and red tail light lenses (The cheap ones).
I scored some Gene Berg straight cut cam gears for a great price. The kit was missing the bolts, but that's easily sorted.
I WON a Shockwave distributor from David Ruiz (
Volkstroke) in a giveaway. Looks very similar to CB's Magnaspark 2 distributor. Perhaps not completely unexpected..
The distributor is most welcome in the pile of parts for the ragtop. I had plans to use a 123-distributor since looks more like a 009 or 010 from a distance and is bluetooth programmable.
However with the shockwave i might lock out the advance use an MSD-box to control the ignition (rev limiter and such). Will have to do some more research on that until it's time for the engine build.
I have more parts coming in soon and winter is not far away. (sort of)
Until next time!
