Brit - Mk2

She is a fast moving, fun ride!  Brit takes you out on the road and lets the wind run its fingers through your hair.  An exotic British experience.

Brit is a 1967 Mk2 that is in the later stages of  restoration.  She has come a long way in the last year, and is shaping up quite nicely.
 
UPDATES
 
7/10/2005 update - Engine has been rebuilt and installed.
 
7/15/2005 update - Radiator and cooling system is flushed, radiator repainted and every hose, gasket and related clamp replaced.  I have never seen such brown coolant.
 
7/21/2005 update - Firewall stripped, repainted.  No rust exists anymore.
 
7/24/2005 update - New clutch and master/slave cylinders are in and as firm as a ripe melon.  The fluid in the master cylinder fell out, not pour out.  I think it was the original fluid!
 
8/15/2005 update - Dash has been rebuilt and rewired - My birthday is the 31st and I plan to have her started by that day! 
 
8/31/2005 update - Just finished rebuilding the carbs and reinstalled them.  She fired up on the second crank and she is now sync'd and ready to fly!
 
9/7/2005 update - Brakes are all new.  I can stop now!
 
915/2005 update - New Muffler system.  Sounds great!
