I'll say it again - This one definitely won't be raced. Just a nice mildly modified cruiser.

Here's the engine bay currently. A14, extractors, and 32/36 Weber on big Roland manifold. I've got a few bits of wiring and plumbing to tidy up in the short term before worrying about whether to drop a mild L series in there :P

Plan is to keep this one long term, so there's no rush. It makes me smile driving it just the way it is to be honest. Thinking about taking it to the nostalgia cars drive in night this weekend hehe

got a quote on a set of these in 13x7 and 8" too. 3 piece wheels made in the UK. Might have to wait a while before I can justify the expense, but they are all sorts of awesome!

jaw dropping wheels and awesome manifold setup
facet pump &h 5 spark plugs its got the works!

Leave it as is harry and just sort braking and handeling. If you get bored then add L

yeah, it's always good to carry a spare spark plug! lol

I'm feeling less bad about the idea of modifying it. The paint has already been changed from the original blue/green colour to a more solid blue, so it's not like it's a true 100% original survivor or anything. Wheels, brakes and front springs will probably go on this weekend and I'll start gathering other parts as they come up cheap.

how does that manifold setup sound Harry any different?
If a t50 box setup landed on your lap could you ever be
satisfied with a turbo A or prefer revvy or boosted L?

Sounds like a stock A series motor to be honest. But I haven't even had it anywhere near full throttle - just been cruising around slowly with a silly grin on my face lol So honestly, it doesn't really need to be anything fast. I've got the Soarer for when I want to go fast - like last Sunday...

Fitted the King springs to lower the front. Also did the same castor mod as the 2dr sedan - moved the castor boxes forward 20mm by drilling 4 new holes and cut 20mm off the front. It drove so much better on the wide rubber with the extra castor, I had to do it to this one as well.
Lipped the front guards and trimmed the front lower corner of the wheelarch to clear the bigger, wider tyre with the extra castor pulling it forward.
Flipped a rear leaf to lower the back about 3". I'll need to trim the bump stops and extend the lower shock mount to get some travel back, but I'm happy with that ride height. The front will come down another 30mm with a pair of 1200 strut tops.

Realised last night this was why I bought new KYB shocks for it 3yrs ago. They're 70mm shorter than the Monroe shocks in it, which I suspect are sedan shocks. So I now have heaps of suspension travel. Might just need to trim the bump stops down to suit, or drill them to make them softer.

Better photo
