Years ago a mate of mine was finishing off a half built Dutton Sierra and it was taking him so long that he bought one of those to tide him over till it was finished. I helped him with a lot of stuff on them. I spent a couple of days helping him to fit the windscreen on the Sierra; the aperture wasn't quite the right shape and it took a lot of creative swearing to get it in. At the end I wasn't sure that it wouldn't just pop out at the first speed bump. He was still running about in it (and trying to finish the Sierra) when I lost contact with him about 20 years ago.

Ansoeb Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 At the local car meet, Bacon & Brakes there was loads of beautiful machines. A top fuel dragster with 2000hp and a 0 to 60 of 0.8 seconds, a mk II escort with 2.0ltr Zetec and ITB like mine but with a BDA head. Stunning American muscle and e-types and even an Austin Healy 3000. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunning American muscle and e-types and even an Austin Healy 3000. I think that's more likely a BDA cam cover rather than head? I saw one in a Seven at Castle Combe and it looked amazing. Was considering one myself but just for cosmetics I'm not sure it's worth the hassle or cost as I think you have to buy new plugs leads too? It did look great though have to say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR.C Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 i was actually putting decking down, but have you not been following the news? People are afraid to go out in certain places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Ah, built a few decks myself, great when you get to laying the boards and can stand back and admire. Pretty much given up on the news, especially the Bias Broadcasting Company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
