Fat wheels back on, off in the morning on her maiden cruise.

Not sure if we'll go all the way to Barbagallo, but will try to get to Floreat at least.

Plan is to one day rebuild this to replace the 179

IMG_0690 (Small).JPG 89.45K 6 downloads

It is a 202 with 12 port head and roller rockers, and supposed to be pretty hot.

I'll pull it down and see what's in it.

Also will slowly fix up the interior and convert back to LC from LJ, plus find all the bits of trim etc that are missing and tidy up the paint/bodywork.

I have some badges sitting here to replace the ones on the sides and to put one on the boot.

Other than that I just want to drive it.

Just gave it a quick once-over and looks like no oil leaks anywhere but some slight weapage from the selectors on the M20, and also looks like the carby has been leaking a little bit.

I guess the first thing I want to do is get it tuned properly because it is still set to where I put it just by listening and guessing the right spot, and its not quite right.

Still hunts when I'm cruising at 60 and sometimes misses a bit when I accelerate, but overall, very happy with it.
