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 :oops: 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


:lol:

dont worry i will keep up with the post and picture coming i am very excited about it all :lol:

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.
