Scala Daily rolling project

[Beddo88]

So.. I've been meaning to get around to this for about 2 years. Better late than never! unfortunately I don't have any current images of the car. Will update soon!

So far its been a case of fixing things as they go wrong, and slowly replacing stuff.

Its been lowered on coilies, had a strut brace fitted and thats about it!

My main aim for this is to be a useable daily, although theres a chance I might get carried away and turn it into a track toy / sprint car.

But for now.. this is the plan:

Replace bushes with poly (wishbones and rear beam)
Replace engine and gearbox mounts - quite old!
Strip and clean interior - keep original (white)
Remove current sound deadening - its old and soggy, replace with dynomat or similar.
Replace water inlets/outlets on the engine - beginning to leak slightly.
replace rocker gasket - leaking
Full new exhaust system - tubular manifold
Replace carb with webber, fitted with k&n.
Replace lock seal on boot
Fit adjustable track rod & end - DONE
Fix drivers seatback latch
Replace Gearbox
Create sub enclosure for left hand boot, find sub & amp to fit.
Strip & rebuild rear brake drums
Fit braided brake lines
New air inlet - uprated (to go with the zorst!)

I think thats it for the minute. Small list eh! Hopefully going to take it off the road for a few months over winter to get it fixed up and sorted. (so goes the plan).

Will try and get some pics up when I get a chance!

Cheers for looking anyway,
Dan

Sounds like it makes sense, good luck with the project.

So it's finally back on the road after winter, although due to being very poor and 300 miles away, I've not actually been able to do anything on it!

I've been driving an ex endurance car for the past couple of months, and the first thing I need to sort is the horrendous braking! (Hold out for the thread...) Also the gearbox, & replace steering arm with adjustable one. That should sort most of it out!
