Fridgemans Twin Cam called "marmite"

**M11rf** · 25-08-2013, 09:22

Looking great

The angle of that shiny fuel filler pipe looks like it goes back up after the neck of the filler cap...

**Fridgeman** · 25-08-2013, 09:50

its tight on the angle for a fall, we had to cut the neck of the tank right down but i have not tightened it all up yet as its comming out for paint. if it spills back i,ll have to do something.

Love the wheels

**Fridgeman** · 27-08-2013, 19:01

just thought i would get it outside for a clean and have a good look at the wheels fitted, well pleased with the stance, suspension has got to settle but just the look i was after,what do you think.

**105Ian** · 27-08-2013, 19:19

Looks spot on you must have had a big old grin when you stood back for a look

**Fridgeman** · 27-08-2013, 19:25

yep sure did, started off being a mildly tuned and sensible looking rally car, thats out the window now.

**mexicotait** · 27-08-2013, 20:50

Love it

**tom burgess** · 27-08-2013, 22:21

looks very very nice indeed.maybe a bit high?done a superb job on it tho!

**Fridgeman** · 27-08-2013, 22:45

yep it is a bit high at the mo but its not roadworthy yet so needs a good thrash round to settle the suspension. also its a period rally car and will never be too low.

**tawny** · 28-08-2013, 17:36

Looking good mark you will like the grip the kuhmos offer but be carefull in the wet with them as said before.

**davblue** · 28-08-2013, 22:51

**tom burgess** · 28-08-2013, 23:02

those tyres are brilliant in the wet.we use them on the race cars and perform brilliantly

**Fridgeman** · 03-09-2013, 20:55

well about done in the boot and inside the car ready for a trip to cornwall for the wiring at trevs place, under the bonnets about done,got water and oil in it, will be purging or bleeding the dry sump in the morning ready for hot wiring and hopefully a tune out of the old girl.

**Fridgeman** · 07-09-2013, 14:32

well had it running today sounds realy well but can't upload the vid for some reason

so its off to cornwall for stage one to fit the custom period wiring loom, have a holiday while trevs beavering away

**M11rf** · 08-09-2013, 08:54

Those back wheels are sticking out a fair bit...

**Fridgeman** · 08-09-2013, 09:34

wider the better

not outside the bodywork so ok for the MOT. if theres a problem i can take them in a inch ,have 1" bolt on spacers fitted at the mo from the 9,s

**Joe-Tait** · 08-09-2013, 13:07

Awesome, I would pull the spacers off the back though

**QuIcKrAcK** · 08-09-2013, 14:07

That looks the part!!
Still prefer the wide steels though

might have to when the suspension settles, untill then it just looks nice.

**Fridgeman** · 08-09-2013, 16:25

**i want a rs2000 mk1** · 08-09-2013, 16:41

Very, very nice indeed

**meXEco** · 08-09-2013, 17:26

Lovely mate-what manifold & system are you using Mark-got a 4 branch on mine unsure what it is and will need a system to match the power.

**Fridgeman** · 08-09-2013, 19:15

Hi mate, firstly were down there next saturday at trevs, so i,ll pm you my number.

be there for a week at least depending on the weather :pray. tony law full system in mild steel but quality stuff with repackable back box. bit of a one off keeping the primeries matched but close as possible to the engine away a bit from the wiring harness. £650 fitted.hard to see on the pics posted but is a nice bit of kit.

great blokes to deal with,cant praise them enough.

**meXEco** · 08-09-2013, 20:04

Ok bud thanks for the info-will call and pop down Trev's next week then.

**evans2822** · 08-09-2013, 20:22

Great stuff I really like that

**tawny** · 08-09-2013, 20:32

I was present at the first fire up of marks engine & all I can say is the soundtrack from that little beauty is fantastic but mark had the biggest grin on his face that day.
Well done mark .
