Hi all,
After asking for info on the boulogne car bodies, a hand full of people asked if I would show the build.
As you know I have a donor car, I've sold most of the parts I dont need. Which gives me money to spend on the build. Just the body to sell.
At the moment as I dont have a build area available, all I can do is check the condition of what I have. And restore what's needed to build the car. So it can go together when I have the space in the new years.
So here we go.
As shown on stringing a steering wheel thread. The wheel is finished.
The draglink is now fully rebuilt.
Here is the engine I'm using for the build.
Bought from a German friend and customer a little time back.
It had alot of work done, new 1 1/2 crank. Hi lift cam. Etc etc.
But I need to go through it and do the changes I need to do.
I've been working on the engine over the last couple of weeks.
Everything is now stripped out, and cleaned. Ready to build what I want.
I can't start the build up until the new year, as I need to get the crank and flywheel ballanced.
So I've been working on the front timing cover, it was already drilled and tapped on the mag drive bearing. But I dont know what for. The thread was to small for a rev counter. So I've centred the thread and tapped it to take a rev counter drive.
See below.
The engine had an early coil engine camshaft. Ground for road and trials. So it can take a fan pully on the front.
That's very handy for me, as I want to fit a bottle on the front of the crank. But keep it splash fed.
