So I haven't updated this thread in a while, mostly because I haven't had a chance to do any work on Caesar, although I haven't stopped trying to get all the parts I was looking for. This past week I've gotten a GTS cylinder head (massive thanks to Quinton for sourcing it, purchasing it and shipping it to me) and a mk2/GTS booster (big thanks to Faraaz for selling it to me). Pics to follow soon Smile

Now I just need to get the booster bracket and get some brake lines made up.

I would like to make up a set of drawings of the part if I could get hold of one, or get some scaled pictures.

And here are the pics of the parts Smile

Again, big thanks to Quinton.

Needs a clean (like all the other parts) and I would think a coat of red (wonder what the right red is?)

Booster will need a rebuild and I'll probably get the details of the place Abri has gotten his rebuilt from.

Pleasure Vinay! Now just need to get the parts on! Hope the lenses don't look to bad for your car ey!

So I finally found some connectors that would work for the light switch and decided to fit it Smile

I know it is a tiny, miniscule job when compared to all the other build threads on here, but I'm happy that I finally have the correct light switch fitted Big Grin

(another bodge fixed).

Now the other switches look bad, so they will need some attention so that they can look black and shiny again.

So I did something a little stupid and decided to get a set of twin carbs Tongue

They most likely need a rebuild, which will happen at some stage.

Guessing you're looking for an airbox Jared?
