The build style idea

So far I have procured a 192 with stage 3 yellow terra head, celica 5 speed and a UC Torana front end, I've gotten through all the minor rust repairs completed currently sorting out front lower pillers (easy side first lol)

Nice project. Good to see another taswegian here. ;)
Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer

Thanks John,
Slowly getting into it the last two owners have had a crack but didnt get to far. I've stripped it back to bare metal all over and working through the repairs as you do. Hopefully on the road in around 18 months.

Nice style / concept colour combo

Did you see Jase's "My EK project" with what he's come up with using available trim. Close to what you are looking at.

Thanks VooDoo,
I live on the beach so im going for the beachy / 50's classy look with some modern hidden extras.

Can't wait to get her on the road but heaps of hours and $$ left to finish it, so a little each week and it'll get there.
