Clydes 72 2.5ST recreation project

[Terminator]

Nothing much happening Nick.

Getting the front crossbars that I bought from John in NZ painted so we can installl the seats with the lightweight runners all the bright trim has been dismantled and sent away for re anodising and polishing waiting on it to return.

I have acquired a set of magnesium MFI throttle bodies ready to attach to an engine one day!!

Another cheap purchase

Magnesium MFI stacks...the start of the 2.5ST short stroke engine parts collection

Wow!
Where did you find those Clyde?

[DJ911]

Very pretty

At this rate Clyde, you might have you engine built by the time the Very Fast Train makes its first run to Brisbane.

Budget is probably heading the same direction

Same place I have found an original race MFI pump however I am just short of the $25k they want for the pump

Clyde, I went to classic R&T this morning and saw the green beast out the back.

Even 80% complete (is that right, just guessing) it looks just awesome. Ride height and colour are epic.

[Terminator]

Thanks Jeff more like 60% sadly lots and lots of work to do yet.

Yes Dave has got the stance just right mean and green

[Terminator]

Lots of progress outside and inside cabin, almost done.

H4 lights in, front bumper on, hood on, tie downs in place, mesh grills in place.

Looking great Clyde...Good Work!

You must be looking forward to the first drive now.
Looking fantastic Clyde!

[Classic]

You must have nearly cleared out the roof space?

Looking amazing

He will need an engine first to go on that drive.

I do have huge respect for people like Clyde who take on these multi-year restorations.

I get frustrated waiting a couple of weeks for a transmission rebuild, and annoyed when Pelican doesn't have the exact part I want or Sierra Madre is slow to ship something. Not sure I'm cut out for a 2-4 year restoration.
