Project London Bridge

[biznatch]

Still building it up and its been put to one side while i work on the modified Nikki carb. I want to finish the modified Nikki carb first and test it on the old donk. It's all taking much longer than expected and about to move house which is slowing things down. I'd like to think I'll have it all up and running on the new engine/carb end of summer.

It's been a while since i updated this thread but there has been some progress with the car recently. I'll post some pictures when i am able but the long and the short of it is i pulled the old 12a last week and dropped in my newly built 12a half-bridge. A 3 row aluminium radiator and front mounted oil cooler has been added to make sure there is adequate cooling. I still have to sort out all the various vacuum hoses, electrical connections, fluids, pressure test coolant system, etc etc but im really pleased and can't wait to get it running.

Thanks Rich, loads of progress since my last post. Rebuilt engine is installed and being run in (on the stock Nikki). I'm on holiday for a few weeks shortly so should have time to write up the details and post the all important pics.

The rebuilt 12A is now installed and up and running. There have been a few teething troubles to sort out, but that was always to be expected.
A few pics of progress below. These have been taken over the last 6 months.
Mmmm , shiny!
