Glad you are back. Thank you for your service!

If I was guessing, you have a ground issue. Are you testing your bulbs hanging loose like that? Are you grounding them when testing? Pretty much all of these bulbs ground through the case they are mounted in. Do you have a multi meter to check that you have current coming in?

Rolling, as in down on it wheels. You're still both making better time than me...

The work looks great. I have some questions though. Someone correct me but I thought people that ran fender flairs and wider tires ended up cutting the wheel arches back or the tires will scrub the wheel arch. Is that correct? Also the body line crease on the car is pretty distinct on the front and rear of the quarter but if I remember right it pretty much disappears above the wheel arch

Ouch! That's why I thought creative shipping might be good. Ship it somewhere close and go get it outside of Germany or try to find someone who is traveling and have them pack them in their luggage...

What is making the music? Components?

I bought a closed combustion head out of Australia. It needs a little welding due to some minor corrosion but I am saving it for a build like this for Cody's car. Hopefully by the time I get it ready he will be mature enough for some added power. I thought I would build the lower end of a motor then get Rebello or Datsun Spirit to breathe on the head for me. What compression are you running? How are you handling the AC evaporator and blower?

I think you aught to make a build thread for it. I know I could use the pointers for Cody's car...

Sidepost battery, fuel rail, AC, electric fans. I like it!

Thank you, I thought it accomplished several things at once. Didn't junk up your thread, populated this section of the forum and didn't offend anyone...win,win So with the larger engine you were able to use the larger SU's? Which head did you use? Rough numbers what does 200HP cost? So you will try to use a dual cable setup instead of some kind of single cable actuating both?

Love it. Keep at it you should be rolling by spring

I would still consider Ztherapy even if I was in Germany. Just might have to get creative with shipping. I think to do it really well you will need some tools unless you have a very well equipped shop. 2 axis clamp table, drill press, reams, source bushings, possibly jets and floats. You will spend half of what they charge just to tool up and buy parts. The other half pays for their expertise and labor, as well as the linkage plating and other misc parts....FWIW

@zKars So we have this 510 here. What motor is in it? Stock or not? Where did you source the SU's for it? I assume they are the smaller SU's...how are you handling choke lever control?

I will start a new thread. Need to populate the 510 section some. Could use any help I can get...

Jim That looks like a 510? If so I have questions for you...

It's fascinating that they only did that on select models and didn't feel the need for it on the rest of the line

Love the picture Jai. That's great!

Alan, On what years would those bottles have been used?

Living in Austin is a lot like living in Portland...

My thoughts on the VIN was maybe it was a low number and it might motivate someone to pick it up no matter the condition.

That's starting to get some shine to it now...

@Barnfind What is the VIN number of the car?

I would enjoy seeing all the pics LS1 or not. You have really good fabrication skills, so seeing how you solve the different problems would be good. Also the car you are doing would have gone to the crushers if you hadn't saved it! So if you want an LS1 after all this work, by all means do it.

By the way Jai neither of these are real easy to get to. Do able but not easy

I love seeing the work pictures I wondered if there was enough metal there too after all the holes get cut....
