There's no denying that bay does look pretty darn cool.

Looks ace, really love it :cool:

Still seems a backward step to me however

 :embarrassed: Thanks Wayne. As for the backwards step, I agree in theory. However if you'd drove the car before and after, or heard it idle or rev or start, there's no comparison. Carbs win. Slighty less economical, doesn't cut out at every set of lights, doesn't pop and fart like an old dog. I really have no complaints at all.

Thanks buddy. I think it looks right. Couple of touches need sorting but its about done.

I'm sure you'll find someone willing to do it for you. Its not a difficult conversion! I would do it if i were a mechanic and had a proper workshop. Good luck mate.

Love it  :cool:

Thanks tweed. Means a lot. I intend on doing so once its done. Got a few more jobs to do yet. Maybe another year and every inch of it will be complete.
