Lamborghini Miura Restoration Log

Week 50, 22 February 2008:

The pistons, connecting rods,and bearings have been assembled and are ready for to be installed in the block. The rear brake calipers have also been assembled. The distributors were lost in the car's extensive shuffling over the years, so crusty replacements have been sourced, though the internals will be uprated to electronic type. Finally, the reproduction wheels (7.5" in the front and 9" in the rear) have finally arrived from the United Kingdom, having been held up in customs for some time.
