rebuilding a 85mod sprint with a 1.5L dual carb engine ans some cancer,

first on the list is to get a key, as original was lost, but i have the number so this may still be possible, otherwise locksmith....

then cut out rust and start rubbing back for respray....

bit of an update, havent been on here much lately,
got the old girl started, was running on 2 cylinders for a bit till i realised two plug leads had been mixed up.
this put the firing order out.
i switched these and she roared into life.... gotta love it...

i am chasing a drivers side gaurd at the moment if anyone has one, tried monza motors in baysie,
but they didnt have any....

cheers batesy
