I had a hard time finding the 1.2mm pistons rings for these std size pistons. At last a set came up on ebay, but I do not like the design of the 4 piece oil control rings. So a second set of pistonrings came into use with the common 3 piece design.

Its all in the detail

Nice work.

Looking good TJ, a very exciting project.

My Inno cooper from Italy had the same sort of white powdery stuff all over its rear subframe - AND I did come up with the exact same tale of where it came from. Two fools, one thought

Apart from that - what a great find, the right attitude to keeping all the period stuff where possible and and deffo my favorite project here

Not much done the last few months, but engine is now in place, and just waiting for ignition, carbs and radiators

Lovely!

I really like this car, any updates?

A little update on the project:-)

Exhaust is now finished

Floor protection fitted

Titan 1.3 roller rockers fitted, these came with the car, so must be at least 36 years old now, when did these rockers appear on the market ?

What a great thread, and so nice to see an old campaigner being built to be used.
Looking forward to more.

Whoever did your rods did a fantastic job. Great work!

Liking the access to exhaust manifold without carbs in the way!
