Title: rebuild of S2 0207P 1st time aound in 1990
Post by: MRN I J on Wednesday,June 03, 2020, 01:10:32 PM
1st photo is from early in 1989, the original exhaust exited on the right of the car, the crossflow engine dictated the exhaust exit from the left so I just turned the grill over & refitted the numbers / lights on the right.
2nd photo is of the rotten & cracked chassis after August 1990
3rd photo is of the new Miles Wilkins chassis
4th photo is of the old chassis, newish crossflow (1989 )engine showing log exhaust manifold & foreman checking that i'm taking everything apart correctly

   its must be some sort of coincidence that you posted that exhaust manifold picture,  it looks like my plastic mockup.
I can't say thanks enough.
