Looking good, mate. Glad you're happy with everything so far. I'm yet to see this in the flesh!

God I love those wheels

Nice. Brings back memories - my late uncle used to have a dark green one (new in the mid seventies)

Update Finally! Been flat out with no time to update the thread though I can assure you the mad rush to GAD is on!

Camshaft, adjustable cam gear and intermediate cam gear are in. ATM I've set it up at +1 and it's going good, a bit more bottom end power but still that roaring around 5k.

Brakes are away getting grooved, new pads are here, tie rod flip kit and ball joint extenders are on their way, aiming to get all these in a once hopefully this week coming or early next. Rewired earth on the coil and seems to have fixed the backfiring/ bogging down issue.

Spent Today doing a good tidy up.dropped the front 20mm and the rear 10mm I thinks it's pretty much as low as it can go now. Finished the parcel by glueing in the side trims and spraying the speaker. Fitted extinguisher. Adjusted the new rubber rocker cover gasket as it was still leaking after it got replaced. And I think that was it...

So got my hands pretty full leading up to GAD but if I can just squeeze it in I'll do the zorst too.

Oh and Preeny is sorting out my MSD and new coil,thanks dude!

Pics!

Probably my favourite angle of the rocco

Safety first!

Managed to find of these in my spare parts pile and replaced the broken one.

Sorry for the crappy photos going to crank the cannon out soon.
