'Lucky' I'm in between jobs at the mo, otherwise this could take forever. Around 1990 we were going to a gym in Hendon that was also being used by Mark Wilsmore, who, as some of you will know, has since then gone on to re-open and run the Ace Cafe. Turned out that Mark was into his American cars (&a...

At the time, our mate Paul Mander was having his 360 in his Aus CH Charger built up for racing in Sportsman class by Clive Bond of Ultimate Race Cars. His other customers were Dave Mingay (Hellraiser) and Graham Barrs (Neon Star), so were keen to 'let' him build up a big block for us. After a couple...

Very pleased with the quality, we were worried that the carpeted parts on the covers wouldnt match the new carpet in the car but it looks ok.
