1972 Scamp in New Zealand
Long time no yarns,
haven’t had much chance to work on this as leading up to Xmas I was working on the family caravan so we could go away in it.
Managed to get stuck into it today, started removing parts so I can remove the motor, trans, fuel tank and rear end so that I can continue the process of stripping the underbody so I can have it inspected by a repair certifier before I take it for NZ Entry compliance
had to take on some extra help pulling it apart
it seems that the previous owner in the US had spent a bit of money to get this back up and running reliably it’s got a rebuilt Carter carb, Pertronix Ignition, with a flamethrower coil, new AC pump and hoses (although it had a bunch of leaks so it had already de-gassed itself)
am going to build a cradle so I can drop the engine and trans out of the bottom of the car as one,
Will continue the updates over the next couple of days
