The expert experience being posted is just the thing that others would need, but it would be hard to find in retrospect. Please extract the MegJolt/Squirt content and put it in it's own thread?

Thanks!

The only way to get them across to the current software is for a mod/admin to manually update every post in the new thread.

It's absolutely worth doing for our educational/informational threads, and if you think a thread is worthy, this is the place to put in a request.

They are jpeg's less than 1mb. Once selected the file is shown in the window when I click upload the arrows rotate a few time then stop but the pics aren't uploaded. I have a couple of blue thumbnails with a question mark and the two existing pics that have been on there a while have turned ninety degrees. Any help appreciated.

There used to be a thread on the original build here, but it went missing on the old forum - terminally entangled in the GT debacle :thanks:

So - started stripping today. Smoke and flame damage all over the drivers side of the engine bay. Carbs are fubarred, melted chokes and seized butterflies - starting again there. Much of the wiring needs replacing, along with master cylinders, oil and fuel pressure lines.

The head was removed back in April, just after the test day fire, to check for damage to pistons/head/bores etc. Fortunately all was well, so whichever bits of molten Weber chokes made it into the combustion chamber made it out again harmlessly. Just needs a surface clean up, new gasket and putting back together.

Which brings me to gaskets. A NOS copper composite came off the engine, put there by GT when he rebuilt this engine. My understanding is that copper is 'best' for race applications as it withstands heat and pressure better BUT tends not to seal as well as say, a Payen. I have both, and can use either - so am interested in recommends - I'll wager GT6Steve has something to say.

when I saw the "garage" I figured this was where pics of peoples cars would live,

but then I saw the "gallery"

but then there was "modifications"

I have posted pics in two sections, I think a bunch of them ended up as a topic thread? (weber install)

the next pics I think ended up in the garage?

all pics that went up were posted via different means through the forum.

I'm finding it awfully difficult to figure the correct place to post pics of what I've done to my car.

can anyone give me a heads up?

cheers,

The car is still sleeping, however first signs show up entailing work for the wintertime. I like the winter in the workshop :confused:
