Jparkes43 329 #60 Posted April 24, 2014 Hi guys just i tiny little update here. i just got a rip Paul Walker sticker as he was a huge inspiration to me and he deserves to be remembered. and also i sent a pm to mark (meadowfield) to see if he could make me a custom sticker for my custom 227-5 inspired by his project c4 sticker but i thought of calling koine project speedy and my custom is to make it a bit faster. also lots more major work to be done on the horse!!!

Rick_in_CT 156 #61 Posted April 26, 2014 James, Great video thanks for posting it. If they had video cameras 40 years ago I would have been doing the exact same thing. The experience you are getting by working on your Wheel Horse is "priceless". The pride in your work shows. Keep us posted on your updates, I really like following your work.

Jparkes43 329 #67 Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) I can confirm today i finished the painting on the whole tractor red and matt black, meaning the restoration is complete, now let me just say stick around on this page because the modifications don't end here. Enjoy James Just the custom 'speedy' and juliette stickers from Mark (meadowfield) Edited May 17, 2014 by Jparkes43 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jparkes43 329 #68 Posted May 20, 2014 Well i said the modifications don't end, and they certainly haven't today i took of the mount and flywheel cover and i got to say it gives loads of improvements it A. makes the engine rev up faster B. cools the engine better C. allows for more free BHP, so over all I'm very happy. i decided to make a straight pipe so i will do an update when that is done. James also took here out for a little run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jparkes43 329 #69 Posted June 6, 2014 Well guys i have been toying with the idea for ages and finally i decided to do it i made striaght pipe so i made a video with the original exhaust then one with the straight pipe, wow so much power and noise. carb still needs tuning to get all the power see you next time james Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick_in_CT 156 #70 Posted June 14, 2014 Hi James, Has school gone on summer holiday in the UK yet? Here in the states the summer "vacation" starts in June. Where I live, the K -12 grades get out at the end of this month. So what does a young man in Bedfordshire do during the summer? Do you continue with studies or take a break form them? Any summer jobs for you or new projects? All the best, Rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
