You mean it's not like on the TV show Overhaulin' or whatever where they just build up the car, get in and drive off into the sunset??

Ha.
I reckon the first 100Kms on my car were all driven within a 1/2km radius of my house

Luckily when I did have problems with my first engine it still got me home.

Made some improvements on my steering column. Plastic bushings on the top and bottom of the steerer tube replace old bearings and rubber bushings. Also turned off the steering lock part of the shaft.


I just need to get rid of that cheesy steering wheel now.
Any suggestions? Nardi? Sparco? Momo?
