Full respray to start with, berg style arches and wide steels, possibly cage, stripped interior but period style.
Then i want to build a steel bottom end 1300 on bike carbs/ throttle boddies. Hope to achieve 125bhp and 10'000 rpm red line.
Oh and it's my new daily so should be interesting. ;D

Will be going into the booth for the paint job, that is all 1k etch rub through primer. (bloke who own's range has prat exed it all ready).
Just need to find the wheels to fill the arches, debating either wellers but the modular style (with round holes) or star mags, what do we think?

Berg stylee....... hoorah!  Have to follow the crowd and comment how solid that is for a Mk1 fezza - shockingly good What a mojo boost to start from something that decent - good luck fella. Excellent plans afoot  |

you've stolen my ideas although if you get wheels with the wrong offset it mucks the handling up |

That is something i will bear in mind then, may need some extra suspension mods or some super wide rims to fill the arches.
Hmmm split rims from image on the bay Hmmm.
Will be keeping this updated as news follows.
Cheers for all the praise it keeps the spirits up with the long hours to get it painted fast.

Cough cough, man flu and no air fed, ah the joy. Time for some laquer to keep that colour from fading me thinks?      Leave to cure for 12 hours in a nice oven with no heat for reduced sinkage then an early start for some fitting.  8 am this morning, rolled out and pannels back on, time to do some works work.  Just finished some of the polishing, can't find the bumpers i want and broke my o/s rear light unit. Time to come home update you all then ready for an early start on it again tomorrow. Hope you all like although picture heavy?  |
