thanks ekdave yeah its a good car so i exspect it to turn out tidy
mephious, my plan is a period hotrod you know twin carbs headers on the gray its pretty original car bar the head lining seats and door trim and dragways
,
the lining is velvet devilrod and it was there when i got her but i love it and am going to great lenghts to keep it ,it was a bit sun bleached at back pillars so i cut that bit off and will re do it to mach the parcel shelf,
and the box is a hyrdo which i like as it has carisma an has always been reliable the diff is standard eccept i put a 3.08 ratio in it and yeah it mite sound tall but the torque of the gray turns it no prob even with a trailer
if you look at the seat its got little head rests made into it, it had had a respray and new interior at some stage in the early 90s i got it in canberra of cassey car sales for 2 grand in i think 92 or 93 and it was like new but the moter had problems and i talked the price down and fix the moter and then replaced it down the track
from what i can gather it was a 1 owner from dubbo , its been at the paint shop for two years and i got sick of waiting and picked it up 6 weeks ago and started myself ive done a few cars celicas, hd ,and numerous big trucks so im not to worried to do it it was more time or the lack of that i sent it to a paint shop turns out i would have been quicker myself to start with now im two years down the track and just starting but im not going to spare a cent new interior in similar style ,the out side will go from white to a bright blue and the drive train comes out and get a pull down and new seals gaskets ect but i will get the box rebuilt then it should be sweet for another 50 will try up load some more pics this week dont think i will make the 08 nationals but by easter i hope to be pretty close
some more pics
