so im rebuilding my knuck. i brought this in from the states last year. got it from a friend. needed odds n sods but basically all there n sound. well i ran it last year in rattle can paint and rust. looked good from a few paces but needed just making as i want, so its time to make it look pretty and sort the few niggles
here it is as i kind of ended up by the end of this summer [bit of styling changes / mechanical fixes as they year went by]
so complete strip n sort - a good day makes for a pull down, bits of frame repairs n cutting off of anything non stock
then on to the motor... the hunt for the missing compression [lowest compression thing i ever had but it starts good and runs well so i may regret this ha]
50 thou over, but both bores and pistons look nice
and a 33 thou ring gap.. [might have a compression culprit here, well at least some of it] need to find some +50 JCC rings from somewhere now
the extent of my chrome ha... not a big chrome lover
so thats this weeks work so far. everythings gone off for powder, ive got customer jobs i need to get out before xmas to do for a few days then ill get back onto it next week.
