    i dont know john what month it will be in. i didnt realise how many photos they take for a feature must have been 100+. the fun started when i had to do some shots on a round about. now all the stick i was getting about gasser dont go round corners ect ect when i was building it, all i can say is you where all wrong, it goes round roundabouts real good and after going round about 30 times and pretty quick i think i can honestly say it handels as good as most pops i have driven.

    Hi Radical, and Guy's,
    I did respond to your request for some pictures earlier, however as I went to upload the reply I pressed the wrong button, and I lost it all FAAAAAA

    Anyways, just in case you guys don't know, my Pop is many years in the making, I'm not too far off firing my motor up for the first time after mucho money has been spent on it and quite a few mods.

    It is a Rover SD1 that has been balanced, it has a Hurricane cam, Holley 390 (bigger jets) Edelbrock manifold, bored 20 thou, unleaded valve seats, all new valve train, the block faces have been machined, and recon heads have been fitted, it should produce 230 bhp. I have made one good B/W 65 auto out of three doners, Iv'e had the convertor furnis brazed, and a higher stall speed built in. 95% of the engine/ g/box build has been completed in house, well in my garage actually LOL.

    Wisbech have waved their magic wand on the chassis, front stainless I.F.S, loads of bodywork, and quite a few stainless items I.E Jag I.R.S hub carriers, radious rods, anti-climb rods, and much more.

    The rear axle is a mixture of "S" Type, and XJ6 lots of special tools have been made for the replacement of bearings etc.
    Iv'e just received my Pop Browns wiring loom, so I'm one step further towards my fire up, which hopefully will be around Christmas this year LOL (it was supposed to be last year LOL)

    All the best thanks for listening, hope you enjoy the pics,
    Cheers,

    Hi Dave,
    No worries mate, I forget loads of things, I think, now you come to mention it, what did I say ??? LOL

    As you said Pop's are memorable, that's one of the biggest reasons for me getting back on the road,

    Cheers,
    Mike C.

    thanks for the replies chaps. the pictures were just a couple it took after the photo shoot. must admit iam so suprised the responce the car as achevied for some thing that was built in 7 months in a single garage with just basic tools. i think fitting the EO4A front sheet metal has made a big difference over the 103E front panels. i have fitted the new n.o.s steel boot lid today, it fits so much better than the glass one that was on it.
    it will be getting a few runs down the strip next year now its handeling better and the cage is fitted. be nice to see what it can do, one thing for sure i think it will be entertaining of the line for the people watching but not for my pants. LOL
    radical, come on fella you have a great gasser waiting to be finished their mate would be great to see that one on the road. or bring it down to me and let me fool around with it for a while if you want.
    kev you are right fast transit and corners, must fit a diesel now and paint it white to get the full effect, LOL.

    great pictures their russ. their is one or two their russ that i seem to know well. i remember drilling all them holes in the doors of anxious it was one of them days where the temp was in the 90s and the electric drill in my had was about 110. looking at the pictures of anxious it just looks like a time warp that car, could well have been been dragged out of a barn were it had been resting for 40 years.
