Thanks Theo worked on it for 2 hours yesterday. We did an oil change, oil filter and fuel filter. It has been sitting in the garden for 16 months

and turned the key and it started after a few minutes of cranking over so not to bad.
Hey it could still turn out to be a drag car and i think it would even beat your car
dont worry i will keep up with the post and picture coming i am very excited about it all

Wooden blocks under the seats
Thats a worry.
I'd be checking anything else thats been modified by the previous owners.

hi kate, great to see the progress.
you wouldn't happen to know what colour that is do you?
are you going to use the same interior? or go a different colour?
keep up the good work.

Hey Karsten no it has not got a 4x4 kit in it. She just got her arse up in the air. I am leaving it at that
