:) i would more likely call it the sound of a v8 thong slap or not v8's sound great :thumbsup:

i remember when i was a kid and you heard or seen a hot car comming towards you or away
and turning to your best buddy or dad and saying is that a 6 and then saying oh no thats a 8 :twisted: nicccceee
and giving them the old spin the wheels hand signal and 9 times out of 10 the bloke in the 8 would light them up :twisted: :clap:

I always wonder why more people don't make their own chassis kit (like you), I did for about $80.

just about to paint underside of the wagon and fit up the diff and front end so thought I would post up some pics of how good and clean the
floor inner sills and cargo area is in this wagon no body deadner black jack in sight you don't find them like that too often never had any rust repairs done under there
there was a couple of pin holes in the rear floor pans but just a quick zap with the mig and there gone I did have to replace the cross member sections
under the front but they weren't that bad more because im putting the v8 in so wanted it strong as I can get it :thumbsup:

I think all the shit I copped about cutting them up must have sunk in :shock: :lol: as now I kinda feel guilty doing it, and as much as I want to keep the grey I know I just won't be happy with it
I think it's a selling thing as I know that as soon as I get a decent offer it'll be gone and as much as I hate to say it a stocker may be easier to sell than a cut up one but of coarse that depends on who is looking on the day
