Just a short update: I did the rally style gas pedal modification and replaced the V4 pedal with the bigger two-stroke pedal. And I’m willing to part with some “junk” at quite reasonable prices. I’m happy to get rid of these. Make me an offer. Also – I have now …
The car needs a fuel pump upgrade. The V4 original will not do with dual Webers… 😀 You could ofcourse just go to a store and buy a bigger and better fuel pump. But, as this is something of a budget build we decided to go with what we had. …

Painted a few more bits and pieces:
The V4 “Rally” is proggressing at a more or less steady pace. I got around to painting a few bits and pieces. The paint scheme is pretty close to the one the car had in the early seventies when racing.
We made a little progress on the 96 “Rally” over the weekend. We needed to fit an engine block and gearbox to make the so-called Mexico brackets for extra support. I also modified the dash by cutting away the corners, to make it fit behind the vertical rollcage tubes. And …
