Hi its been a while but thought I would put the question up. My 40 build started back in 2000 and ended in 2010. I made nearly all the components, the only bug I have is filling it with fuel. I was a motor mechanic for 45 years so you know how things should be made or designed. I think the...

Will call this thread Ozi 206 to distinguish between mine and Axels. Several years ago I hunted out info on the 206 but then had a change of heart because I have a thing for the P4. Over time I have tracked the 40 more and came to the conclusion the 206 would suit me better, more nimble...

Just a point of interest. I have had the trans out to do some repairs, I have always overfilled the oil because the eng tilts down at the front and 5-6th will not get oil if filled by just using the plug. While I had it on the stand its angle was at what I would expect when it is fitted in an...

Question for the transmission guys that roam the forum. I have an O1E in my 40. Today I gave it a squirt in 2nd then had trouble getting out of gear. After a few tugs it released but would not go into 2nd or 1st so I drove back to the shop in 3rd and 4th. Checked it out and pulled the box...

Had to make new covers for the headlamps because the hole spacings didnt suit me for the alloy body. I had not done this before but was not that hard, thought I would put it up as it may help others. I decided on PVC as it is easier to play with ,less brittle and has moderate UV stability...

A friend and I were toying with some ideas for my car. We tossed around the rugged warts and all body as is no filler. Sand it up and scotch bright in the roundels, stripes and even decals. Old street fighter look from 1966. Jim
