Hey Sexy  :D
Pics fixed. If you move them or rename them, they won't show up, as the link points to the old location/name.
Looks like a sound car as a starting project.
The sandblaster must have been heavy handed, what did he do to the right rear quarter.   ;D
Tubs look tough.
Regards

4 years ago the car was at a panel beater for an attempt to fix the body and paint it. The beater said that the car had a bent rear right rail so he straightened that. But the quarter had been repaired previously by somebody else with the bent rail and was welded on wrong. So he cut the old quarter ready for another piece. With the quarter of he shut shop and left it like that. But i am tackling this properly now.

Nice looking car, should be a tough car when finished. I will look forward with great interest to see how it progresses. Keep up the good work.

what size rubber are you running on rear.did you move chassis rail in?

[sexyfc]

Thanks guys, i couldnt touch the rails unless i was going to get it engineered. I managed to fit a 245. Still a bit of room but i went smaller to play it safe untill car is drivable.

Done some work on my dash

[NO NAME]

its pretty smooth but how will you know how fast you are going?

[mikey]

When you get pulled over for speeding and the copper says" Do you know how fast you were going?" you could, with all honesty, say "No officer I did not know how fast I was going!!!!!"  :P

Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Playing with an idea for gauges. Also modifying Wh Stateman seat to go in the old girl. Full electric front seats  :o

Just mounted a 90ltr stateman fuel tank in the old girl, still have to modify the filler neck which i'll do tomorrow night. Also engineer made me fabricate extra cross members under the body which were a real pain to do on the ground!!! Also put the seat mount bolt in the pillar.

[smithy]

looking real nice there. ive almost completed doing a similar gas tank swap but mine was from a VN/VP commy. had my filler neck relocated to the old position and had the guy srop in a backflow restrictor to slow and stop and fuel splinng out under acceleration.
what were the braces the engineer anted you to put in and wher did you fit them as i was just going to put a piece of 65 x35 x3 tube in the boot as a brace just below the roll down above the diff. id be interested in seeing them,
how are you going to hold your tank in?

cheers
dean

[sexyfc]

Engineer has not seen it yet, as for the straps i'll be looking in to that tonight also. I'll put more pics up of the strapped up tank when its done. Are you using the original filler neck or the commodore neck?
