yes, the fenderwell headers i made sure were loud :D
today i had a tidy up in the garage, uncovered the car from under all the crap that had been stacked over it and had a swap round. i had to move the 2 mercs, get it out, put the merc estate inside and the valiant and scrap merc back on the drive. the scrap one's going wednesday so i'll have a bit more room but at least i can use the valiant now \:D/
it's amazing the difference a set of wheels makes to a car ;)

cheers, i love that street racer/gasser look :thumbright:
i took it to work today, runs fine. tracking needs a tweek with the front raised and it needs a blanket over the seat so i don't get covered in seat fluff every time i drive it but other than that i'm chuffed to bits with it :D :D :D :D

yes you're right, i want to fit a straight tube front axle like my anglia had. but..... it'd put me outside the 8 points rule and i want to keep the registration now i've got it and not have to go through a biva test.
i could use the 383 b block and auto i've been offered and turbo that. being a stock factory option i'd keep those 3 points and 2 for the steering box so with the unibody i'd have 10 points so could swap the axles and suspension. mmmmm.................... :-k

today's update is i've had a reality check and decided to fit the 383 mopar big block i've been offered to make the valiant a nice quick road car instead of the nutter turbo 383 chevy motor that if i'm honest i'll only race 2-3 times a year anyway. so all the chevy and turbo stuff is for sale.

Wise decision, and you will find a BB is still a bit of a squeeze!
