perhaps some bead blasting and high temp ceramic coating could make the list too!

a little progress has been made.



i'm a lot closer on the wiring, i just need to put the grounds in. wrapping will happen later, i like to make sure it works first.



we made flanges for the carb, it gets welded up in the next week or so



paul built me a set of K2 camber plates so i can get rid of the ground controls, although i did spend an afternoon aligning it already... oh well



what else? new upper hose is on the way, so i can put coolant in it.



brakes are in, clutch is in....



need to readjust the steering box, somehow i got more effort AND more play

I'm surprised you haven't forket out some money for that rack and pinion kit yet ... any reasons? besides maybe just price of it?

i wanna stay "vintage correct" like if mazda offered a sports kit in 1982. plus if you do it right (ive been there, just missed this time) you can actually get most of the play out of the box

I'm siding with Tyson in changing the header from 1764 vintage to something a tad more cleaner/modern
