After more than 3 years of building, 2 complete moves, and untold hours (does sitting with a beer in the garage problem solving/designing count as man-hours?) my Westfield eleven took to the road this morning. It was just a short trip around the block and back into the garage, but it drove under it's own power!
I have a 1 day trip permits for Friday and Monday (Thursday today) and will go over to another eleven owner's garage to set-up the alignment and the suspension geometry. We will also verify the timing and synch the carbs. The engine is an APT 1380 that gives 97hp on 87 octane and was run in on their dyno. I built and installed a MegaJolt electronic ignition and removed the distributor, so it's running on a digital mapped system. The transmission is a Datsun 5-speed and I am running 15" Dunlop race tires (I hope the CHP don't make a fuss!).
I have a CHP appointment on Monday so there is a chance of getting my plates on Tuesday and then I can see about putting some miles on it. Looks like the Rock Store and the Malibu hills will have to wait until next weekend
I will post up a link to some pictures in a couple of days after I finish up doing the interior install, probably on Saturday morning.
