Yeah! Il get some pics up later Playing about with the k11 brakes, realised I know need k11 wishbones too as the k10 ball joints don't fit the k11 hubs Tried knocking/pressing old ball joints out, ended up breaking it lol Bought facet silver top fuel pump as I don't have mechanical pump to feed swirl pot anymore, that still needs wiring up Then I still need to sort ignition out!! Was gunna use old dizzy and aldon amethyst, but there's a chap on here with a cheap enough negajolt so I might go for that Plan is to have it all done for J.A.E

Nice on bud sounds like your getting through the "to do" list.Not sure if iv asked you before but at the risk of repeating myself..... do you have any plans for wheels and are you planning a paint job? Sorry for all the questions but I don't have a project of my own so coming on here is the closest I get lol! Mind you in saying that I have a box full of service parts plus an aux belt and tentioner kit to fit to my mondeo , they have been sat there over a month now and I still cant be arsed lol! cheers steve.

I often say to people if you've got time to wash it you've got time to make it go faster!
It's looking good!

Upgrade my brakes today to the better k11 1.3 brakes Parts that are needed are K11 wishbones K11 track rod ends K11 hubs K11 calipers K11 discs All bolted up These will be loads better tan original set up, which was like rubbing a marshmallow on a sponge Also it leaves me with the option to upgrade to pulsar gtir calipers at a later date

Ah cool, you know Ben
I miss that car, wish I didn't have to sell, hope he's enjoying it
I know he's put the ma12 in now and still running the bike carbs
He should turbo those carbs like I did, the set up works well and seriously shifts for a tiny motor
