Cool project you have there 8-)

Love the intake manifold, this & the carbs can be cleaned with the stuff you use for Alloy wheels.

Hi ! in the 70' some guy painted it in "unknow colour". The BMHC wrote is tartan red, so we will paint it in tartan red and duco style paint.

I need to replace right side floor only, where i can buy it?
