Because this car, like most 41 year old cars, is a work in progress, the real car might vary from the pictures. These were taken 31/03/2015.











The Good
  • This motor and gearbox were installed about 2 years ago. The whole thing was blue slipped and the motor is on the rego. 
  • There is a good sized intercooler and a new aluminium radiator with electric fan.
  • There is a surge tank protected by a heat shield and the battery is in the back of the car.
  • A new clutch was installed a few weeks ago along with front diff mount and moustache bar bushes. 
  • Most suspension bushes have been replaced and we have a bag full of new ones with the car.
  • The springs and struts were new 3 years ago.
  • Rust in the floor has been cut out and metal panels welded in place.
  • New carpet in the cabin
  • New Pirelli tyres
The Bad
  • The paint job is crap. It's crazing all over the roof.
  • The tailshaft has a rumble. This is new and I will have it looked at. Maybe a universal joint.
  • Tacho doesn't work
  • The passenger door rattles
  • No air conditioning
The Ugly
  • Well this is just a matter of opinion
