brad_herbert;it is very close to running, all wiring is finished, except for the coil as i still haven found a nice place to mount it, then i need power to the fuel pump, and apart from that, it is readdy to fire up.
then before it is totally complete i will have to;
-build the doors
-install interiour
-bleed the breaks
-adjust clutch
i think thats it but im sure there will be more i wish it was as simple as that list sounds
i will keep you all posted
