Here's my first car i got given as a heap that had been sitting in the paddock at my pa's place since he last drove it there in 1989 :P It had been ratted for parts for my uncle's HQ race car. I've done all the work so far myself and am now trying my hand at welding and painting her :D
Specs:Red 202 (race spec engine awaiting installment, 60thou over, crow cam, straight cut timing gears, yella terra head) M-21 4 speed Perry Extractors Cheviot rims :) Pedders race suspension PBR race clutch setup Salisbury 3.55 Originally 3-on-the tree Picked up all the parts VERY CHEAP! G'box for $50 recently re'coed, long centre console damaged for $15.50 :P Guards and radiator support for $50 the lot. I'm on a tight budget :D haha Pics: With my great smile :)    Cheers Get your feral little mittens off it! |

yeh it was a hell of a lot easier dropping it out, i painted the whole sub chassis satin black and then installed the pedders suspension so much easier.
ahh all the panels are straight as a die. just a bit of rust here adn there to cut out and repair
im doing it stark white with blue pearl in the clear coat :)

that it is.. the front sits up a fair bit more.
I might space the rear up a little to bring the rake level
