pretty fed up that manifold to engine gap is jammed. hope he could get it removed, he suggests to have it heated up with a torch and remove it when the metal expands, lets hope it works

anyways, heres the tire carrier, needs the shape to be properly adjusted before it being sent for galvanising, all rusts removed! damn thick

Before there was Mugen, there was Honda Racing Service Club, Started by Mr. Soichiro Honda and made famous by the Honda S800 RSC Fuji circuit car

The company has a strong racing heritage, as Hirotoshi Honda began building his own racing car in a workshop at his father's house, shortly before he graduated from Nihon University in 1965. Masao Kimura is a veteran racer with more than 50 victories in Honda sports cars and single-seaters and worked for Honda R&D and then Honda Racing Service before helping Hirotoshi Honda establish Mugen.

So I bought this pair of stickers and going to stick them to my windscreen, viva RSC oldschool tuner

So I bought a pair of NOS Durant rear view mirrors, as the other one that I bought earlier has oxidation marks and cannot be removed unless the glass has to be shattered to be taken out. My older pair to be sold if anyone interested

Finding a flatbed towtruck is almost impossible in my town, so I paid RM50 about 20 USDs to have it shipped to my mechanic. The engine block is unstuck from the manifold, now hopefully the engine assembly would be done by Chinese New Year, I want to hear this baby roar!

Broken ball joint on the car replaced with Ortmann's reproduced copy. Love the Germany stamp on it, I guess the Germans could replicate any given parts!
