The blue one is now orange.
It is very nearly back on the road, just a few more jobs to do. I stripped it back to bare shell and built it up again.

Looks like you've got enough to do then...
Kind of have the same problem... Only thing is we do have enough space... Which means we end up having 3 cars apart and not knowing what to do first...
That's why I haven't done anything to my fastback since last day of august...

I like a car that looks normal but really knocks your socks off!!

A good resto thread is always nice to follow!
What's the status of the blue one?
What has to be done to it?

I have many fond memories of going out in that car and I too hope to see it again someday.

Thottle bodies all the way They aint cheap though bet your looking around a grand just for a basic set up, and then there is all the set up money
I recon you will have a nice little engine set up there with a very good power output.
Now all you got to do is get it done

Yup - throttle bodies on the weber manifold - probably Jenvey. I might retain the H120 filter box and double-handled-saucepan type air-filter.
I live quite close (45 miles) to Emerald 3D (http://www.emeraldm3d.com) so the plan is to get it running on the webers and then drive to Emerald3d and give them money.
They have done a few conversions of old british stuff to fuel injection so this seemed like the best plan. They appear to know what they are doing, and while I understand the principles of fuel injection I've got zero experience.

What management system you going to be running then if your using injection over carb?
Are you using throttle bodies on the webber manifold?
