    Hi, the engine swap was certified (the plate on the firewall) back in 1999, theres a few things it would need updated if it were to go through again but nothing major. ITs probably the rustiest car iv had, and iv had alot of old brit cars haha, but its nothing major, just a weekend on the firewall, perhaps a little will need doing on the sills, im pretty sure some rust was just bogged and painted over, but it hasnt fallen out yet so it can wait for another day. There is a guy over here making new sills as well.

    Thats my 51 SMM minor in the background, i have had it about 10 years and at this point every single part of it has been off and rebuiltn its got the 918cc flathead which iv tuned up with twin carbs, extractors, high comp head, light flywheel, port and polish, electronic ign, it almost goes the speed limit now

    lol Moggies weren't the choice of Brit racers were they. They are scarce now - I haven't seen one out on the road for a long time. And L200's are far and few between at least in my state. Did it need a brake upgrade to compensate for the increase in engine CC's? You've got me curious in how the regulations differ from Aust and NZ.
