The project started many years a go, 1994 with a big friend. At the time the original color was white but Blue was the choice.
The car was for painting for a year, because my friend lives in France and just come here one time per year, that´s why he stoped the project and asked me to finish the car.so the car was in the garage for almost 12 years already painted and with seats. Its just a short story because i have to thanks to my friend the offer.
Now the day i brought the car home after clean the tank, carburator and change fuel lines.

Well so i was already working in the new engine but now it was urgent because no engine to drive around :(

Just look at this!!!!!

Image

While i was waiting for some pieces , there was another details to work..

The black thing is from the original engine but it´s too big and uggly so i tried this:

Image

The plate:
Image

All in one:

Image

In place:
Image

Here is a T1 polie but i made an adaptor to use it in my engine. It´s lighter and looks much better.

Image

More things arrived:
Image

While i was taking care for other details:

TMI door panels:
Image

I don´t like the original door handle so i made a new ones in leather

Image

It´s time for the very hard work, in this engine there is different typs of pieces because we use pieces from T1 and T4 engine.Isn´t bad because they are much cheaper.
Here i used a T1 manifolds, but it was necessary to make it stronger because the ports are much bigger:

Image

Here the size of the ports before :
Image

During work:

Image

A lot to take off:
Image

Almost.....there:

Image

The weather was terrible so i couldn´t work in the car but some goodies arrived:
