Fugly Pacer - Blown Methanol Madness

Ok time for a catch up, it’s taken quite a while, but I’m thinking I’ve got all the parts needed to get back on track. After the accident I decided to go right through the engine, found a few marks in the bores I wasn’t happy with, so decided to replace the pistons and rods, rebore the block, then found the new rods were a little bit wider than the old ones, had to relieve the block so they would fit, had everything balanced and reassembled. Was going to put a smaller blower on the car but after a long chat with Kenny  Gomez, he decided to put a 14-71 high  helix blower on it with a different hat, went up to Scotland for a couple of days with him to go through all the work he had done and fit the heads, engine now at home and I’m sorting all the small stuff, plumbing and wiring etc, will post more pictures as I progress. Huge Thanks to Kenny for all his work and support  couldn’t do it without him 👍😊

Engine is out and being pulled down as we speak. Transmission front seal has failed, converter is toast, but the main and most important thing is thats Steve's hand is healing well 😀

Thankfully it's looking like most of the bodywork damage is to the body.... at a quick glance the chassis looks straight. On with the strip down....

We have now begun the full car strip down to work out how much damage was done after the transmission fire.

Check out pass completed with no drama, all checked out and happy. Oil change complete, back to run again shortly....

Fugly is loaded and ready to play at Santa Pod Raceway this weekend 🤞for a great weekend!
