hi all, well i started my winter upgrades a while ago, but still not finished yet
so i thought it was time to take some pictures and upload them.
this is what it was like, apart from the rear arches had been damaged
 
bubble screen fitted 3
 
the 1.6 pinto
so this winter, it got so far:
quick rack fitted
hi spec rear brakes

windband set up
total rebuild of the pinto, to a nice spec,
new manifold for bike carbs
dizzy non-vav advance this time
Burton cam cover
Westfield alu sump
shiny indicator stalks
carbon rear arches
carbon front arches
still doing the carbon work it will not be perfect but it will do for now until next winter)
i am sure there is more, but that is a brief run down for now.
 
new rear brakes
 
new bike carb manifold
 
wideband display
 
Lamba sensor

Couple of questions about wishbones, are they just rosejointed or do they allow you to move the wishbones back 15mm to help self centering and does
the Transit drag link joint screw into the wishbone or does it use the alloy adjuster.

hi there, it still does have the thread for the Transit drag link at the top.
and yes they do allow the wishbone to move back more, not quite sure what distance yet, as i will be getting Danny to set my car up for me

Shame about them not taking the adjuster as it saves having to take the mushroom out to adjust the camber also allows for fine tuning camber as
you're not restricted to one complete turn of the joint.
