Mr Sam Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 ive not touched this in months having taken up R/C again ive not even given it a thought or picked up the welder once its a 1967 105e ive thrown a 1300 x'flow in it along with sawing the front end off in favour of fiberglass flipfront, its having polycarb windows and just a single bucket seat 3 rail gearbox with a welded diff will also be running slicks, eventual plan is 2.1 full race pinto with a hint of happy gas built solely for drag racing although its got to be road legal and have an MOTwhen i bought itprevious owner had brush painted it in red oxide..........nightmare!!!ooopsgot it back to a rolling shell although diff kept locking up and i forgot the heavy duty clutch relese bearing so its all come out again.....the fire breathing 1300, bought for £5 replaced all the gasgets and runs sweet as a nutcertainly not going to be a motorway cruiser!and the flip front half onreally need to get on with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 How about under the bonnet? There is the engine and you can easily get at everything around it. On today's cars you can't even see most of it - let alone reach anything! More reliable now? Probably. Easier to fix back then? Definitely!

Allan Jordan Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Mr. Sam, I am confused, if you have welded the diff. and intend to use it soley for drag racing why bother to spend £53 -10p on an MOT for it ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
