[Don Pamponi]

Are you making a rotary powered hotrod there Mike?

[travellinbob]

C\'mon Mike, you cant drop a hint like that in your last post and not explain?!!!
 What running gear are you thinking of that wont need headers?
 tell me more. By the way there are a few 12a\'s for sale on e-bay at the moment.

[travellinbob]

Hmm, just noticed something totaly irelevent to this topic but as Mike is a moderator perhaps he could explain the feel free to elete this post.
 I thought I had about 510 posts the other day but today only have 499? just curious. Dont really care that much but just wondering??

[MikeLMR]

if I delete a post your post count goes down ... I can\'t explain that lost post at the moment

Don, I am building a sleeper ... although a roll cage may give the game away a little LOL ... basically I\'m building a car that I like, no motivation other than that

[MikeLMR]

still no front struts ... fed up, they were in the post and now nothing and no answers to e-mails either

at this rate i\'ll have the repair panels for the bodywork before the front struts from the UK !! and they took 3 weeks to get in stock !

[Richard]

Repair panels, Mike? Tell me more please
Rich

[MikeLMR]

from rare spares in Aus, they do repair panels for the bottoms of the wings.

I can get rear arches and outer sills in this country. I could really do with an inner sill but I figure we can rebuild that good enough seeing as its just at the back end and not really visible.

[MikeLMR]

Struts arrived yesterday evening so I got to trying them on the car today.



looks a little low here but I have had it wound up to higher than standard ride height. Not sure on the camber yet. Must go fetch the gauge from the other garage. I hope its a little OTT as I\'m on full adjustment at the moment  :eek



As you can see the brakes are a little larger than the standard ones and they aren\'t yet connected. I\'m not 100% happy with the strut top setup yet but its going to take a drive around the block to try it out first. The springs seem a little softer than I imagined but the damping is FAR FAR superior to the unmodified side  :wiggle



Lots to do before its roadworthy.

Are you deffo going 12A still Mike?  If not I have a 13b for sale
That car is going to be the mutts nuts, when do you think you\'ll be finished?

[MikeLMR]

I would like a 12a really as its mostly a bolt in job to change over.

No idea when it will be finished ... I\'ve barely started to be honest.

[travellinbob]

What brakes are you running Mike??
 Looks quite the \'b\' road car and once it has a 12a in it will be loads of fun!

[MikeLMR]

Michael, it will be running with standard drums on the back and the S2 front brakes that came with the struts.

yes, should be a laugh once its sorted

Hi Mike,
            Are you keeping the original colour scheme or are you going for a respray, either way I look forward to seeing it (again) when she\'s smarting a nice new rotor :cool

it will be staying Yellow, I\'m no good at painting things and don\'t have the budget to pay someone to do a "proper job" so It\'ll just be tidied up once the bodywork is solid but it certainly won\'t be a show car.

It\'ll be the mutts at the end of your mod\'s eitherway  :cheers
