Looking great Bat62, it's ok to be a computer wally if you can do this kind of thing with a car , Adam would be happy to know what you have done.
What running gear are you putting in it? Trev .

Steve's been shooting me the odd photo of how he's been going with my old car, but most of these are new to me as well.

Looking great Steve!

SO happy that someone took her on as a project rather than just parting her out, and SO glad it wasn't a teenager who'd just blast the shell, then give up and sell it as an 'incomplete project' a few months down the track...



Looking forward to more photos as they appear!

thanks fellas,the rears are 15x10 us indies have had them kicking around for years finally got something to squeeze them under,the old girls still registered with the 186 ,so due to poverty that will be staying with a freshen up ,have recoed the syncro 3 on the tree ,i wanna keep the bench seat ,but im puttin a bigger hump in cause the old hump was a bit of a butchered affair so down the track ????but for now lumpy red and all syncro 3 speed ,the short commy diff is 308 so that should work out ok.for now its rust repairs and chassis mods its got a crs 3/4 chassis buts its gettin altered with the tubbing.parisian62 love the story of the old timer ,have been watching it since the start,great story and history there,and dont that sandblaster change things ,mine like yours looked like it had been attacked with a shotgun, but then at least you know what youve got,,,and what youve got ahead of you,yours is very inspiring.will try a couple more piccys,THE DONORS
