Would like a B20B head for the engine upgrade, anyone got one they'd be willing to sell to a good cause? :-)
Suspension and steering done. Alignment is as per the original specs at the moment but one side castor is just a wee bit out but I’m up at our cottage at the moment and as Aberdeen is in lockdown it won’t be for a while that I get the alignment how I want it.

All the new parts have arrived. Also got a new thicker ARB from Brookhouse and a high torque starter. Getting a local garage to fit the exhaust, ARB and starter next week as I don’t have access to a workshop up here at the cottage.

Going to have a play with a stub stack for the carb intake and a K&N filter and see if it makes any difference.
