Hi Thomas I am looking forward to see pictures of your car when it is ready to be painted (about half a year?). I have owned my car about 25 years, so this have been a very long prosject.

I had to do some work at the kitchen table to day.
1 hour with metal polish, and the allow is almost as new.
Before polishing
And after 1 hour.

Yes, worth the effort: those parts are gtting hard to get, especially in good or reasonable condition. It is coming on nicely: wish I could say the same of mine |

Some more pictures from insrrument and cablework. It is good to have
manuals and spareparts catalog now. It is a good help. It is about 15 years ago all this parts was dismantled.

I'd love to have a suspension support like yours... Anyone who has it?
Again, I really like the way your car is turning out!
Keep up the good work!

Hello
Your engine looks awesome I bet it runs even better,
Question 1- you said it was a "Holbay replica engine"are CC's same(1725cc),
Question 2- why replicate A Holbay instead of just using
a original Holbay.
reason is that have a Holbay, I've heard and read nothing but great
experiences with this engine.
thank you

Hi Gijoe.
The engine id 1725ccm.
I an building a replica because it is impossible to get a Holbay engine here in Norway. I could buy one from UK, but the postprice is very high. My std engine is in good condition, so I bought piston from USA and the other parts from UK. Now I hope I have a "new" engine.
Regards Jan |
