yeh should be, well i hope so! was flicking through devo's build thread yet again and he looks like hes got the 60s too. suppose theres only one way to find out though

yeah they look like the 60s, do remeber they look pretty close to the bulkhead on his if i remember right, not that it really matters so much now its more a show car. ill pop down nxt weekend if your about fella?

nice and shiny! i really need to come down and have a look too

yeh come on down next week end guys, engine is going in then so it will exiting stuff didnt do anything today but HAD to try the carbs set up on the motor

sounds like a plan to me mate! me and dad are going to drop the motor in next week, you recon you could pop over and take a look and tell me what i need to do to plum them in with fuel etc?


cheers for all your comments again guys especially matty's joke. even jodie found it funny! and yes mark the motor will live on!

is it going to be powered by electric? cos i thought that was an engine not a motor.........

unless your an american in which case the motor will be going under the hood

got them from autocarb i think they are called, do a google on dellorto on a uk search. they also do webber parts too and pretty much most parts you could want

joe let me into a few secrets on his build, and sent me some pictures of an intersting idea he is doing using an old tailgate, i thought i would share it with you all, even though he was going to keep it a secret. he reckons it really reflects him as a person and beleives it is totally unique


















here it is!

will suit his caddy perfectly!

I think thats another one of those secrets similar to your caddy secret mark... We all knew.. but we didnt know each other knew so nobody talked about it lmao... It seems that way

you guys should be comedians

anyway back to the rusto......

today dave came around to do yet morre welding in the bay, and im pleased to say its 99% done now, just the chasis legs left to notch and its all done! the top of the suspension turrets was on the list of jobs today aswel as some other small holes that were left. not many piks but you'll get the idea. on the 3rd skim on them now, as you will see there's going to be very minimal filler around the turrets thanks to daves handy work! enjoy guys!...oh one more thing, engine test fit tommorrow!!!!!!! whoop whoop

Considering the nature of your build mark i would stitch weld all your seams
