New Project

Have not posted for a while, the Elan ran good last year until I adjusted the air screw on the mikuni carb, leaned it out to much and and over heated it, lost the top ring, no problem, piston is okay and I got a new ring coming from Bones in Canada so should be on the snow on time this year. Now the time I should spring my next project on you guys, I got a 1967 Alpine that I will restore here is a shot.

Hi

I have read your blog, it very intresting. I have a Elan -77, that my father gave to me as a birthday present in 1977.

Now i´m going restore it. The body is in good shape, but the 247 is tierd. You gave my an idea, change to 292 instead. I have browsed the internet and mailed some people about 292. Without any luck, do you know some one who mait have a 292, head, piston and piston pin? For sale?
