Took us a little over 3hrs!! Then we had the assache of getting it off the trailor the other end. Gave up being sutble and just dragged it off with another car! lol Just need to get it all stripped etc. There's still some very good bits still on it thatmite sell so may even make some off it too. :D
She's a beaut!

I freed up all the brakes tonight bar the lefr rear, will need a sledgehammer for that then I can get it pushed up in the corner out the way to be stripped down.
I like it, i say funk the nova and do the porsche!

Got the manifold back today too with the new welded runners. Don't know if anyone can advise on length of the runners - does it make any difference? Need to make up the new spacers for between the carbs and extend the linkages but that will be after billing now.

you need to take a month off an get this finished lol
I've got next week off! lol
Its just money mate stopping me. I need the following to get it running in current guise...
Fuel tank,
Fuel pumps & reg
ECU
Springs
Windows
Ingntion system
hoses
new brakes (discs & pads)
Driveshafts
Buckets
Thats what I can think off for now. All the above are needed to go rwd anyway with the exception of the equal shafts which will easilly sell on. The hope is to be able to get a trackday in before end of autum then I can work on getting the porsche gear in over winter.
I can't work out what's going on there - what are the new plates for?Quote:

To get nice straight line and clearance for the inside edge of the tubs you need to cut open the chassis legs and then re-plate them. The rear pic you can see that the chassis has been completely cut and now needs re-strengthening on the inside edge. Kinda like this....

Where the chassis has been removed (red) the exposed chassis needs re-plating and closing.
Very nice :D
I have a full set of Sr glass.... Green tint i think..

Currently working on a way to drop the front a little further and gaining more shock travel. ;)Quote:
