I think we got the car the middle of may. This is only a small part of what I have on my plate. So, I think I have about 80 hrs in it so far. Lots to do yet. Stay tuned.

Shealey, any photos of the engine bay, are you still planning on putting Suzuki motor in it, and if so, what are you planning on using for a transmission?

I did it in my garage. I used to have a collision and resto shop. Sold out about 12 years ago. I'm a multiline insurance claims rep now.

Actually While I was looking for a car to build for my wife I came across that Bugzuki site. Then instead of shopping for a Mini or a Sunbeam, I decided to do a Bugeye. I happened upon a car and the rest you see here.

I paid $ 200.00 for a low milage Swift motor and $ 100.00 for the Samurai transmission. I couldn't buy a 1275 for the cost of the Swift and the transmission together.

I had a friend who put a Ford ZTech in a Bugeye, switch it to Webers and had a crankfire ignition on it.

The intake I'm using is the stock ram horn design. The curves were hooking down. I cut off the flange and flipped the intake over. Just have to have the flange welded back on and I have a stock fuel injection intake.
