This is my Present Ride. One HR special. I picked this up about 8 Months ago, from just over the border. Found by pure Coincidence, I was looking at a EH Pano in the same area, BUT it was way over priced and Very rough for what I wanted.



So I walked away only to drive down the Highway to see this on the side of the road. :)
Came with Recoed 186 (but shoddy Strommie) 3 speed on the floor. Factory Discs brakes. Tomb stone Bucket seats, and a few Spares thrown in. :)

Work Of done so far are: Changed over the 3 speed linkages, as the old ones where sloppy as hell. Changed the "Coffee Pot" from the steering wheel from Column shift to the Floor shift models. CD Player fitted. Rebuilt the Stromburg with Carb Kit. Replaced Battery. Removed Chrome trim and filled (welded) holes on all 4 doors. The Door Trim was the Only Chrome on the Car that has NOT been dented or Damaged in some way. (bar the front Grill bars), Removed Mud flaps. Removed and welded Badge holes. Welded up last half of the Exhaust system using my HKs as its donor! And a Bunch of welding and replacing metal where Rust has come through.

Future Mods?: For the Time It'll be the Daily Driver. I was going to sell it off, And buy an Injected car so I could move Back south! But I Have had a Change of mind with this, And have thought of other plans. the Body IS Pretty ROUGH, And Im thinking of relegating the Car to other Purposes? :))) While the HK will be used as My daily Driver and NOT the Street/ Strip Car I had intended.

Latest updates are a set of Extractors, Retro fitted to the stock tail pipe. Even with the stock re-jetted Strommie I was surprised
