Updates:7-9-07
date: Look out betty, we're coming for you. This year we're
building a souped up mini for the targa Newfoundland race. This will
include a seven port "AKM" style race head, MED 1430 sprint engine and
a full race suspension. All of this built into a fully restored 1960
body with full six point roll cage. To say it simply, our car this year
is going to be beast. more pictures will be coming.
Here's a link to the races page. http://www.targanewfoundland.com/
Her are a few shots of the shell on the rotisserie after some
sandblasting to expose the seams prior to seam welding the shell to add
stiffness as per the 60's BMC rally cars.
Below is a update as of 3-28-08
Look for a lot of action on this page over the next few weeks. I have
made lot of progress on this project and will have a lot of new photos
to upload in the next couple of weeks.
