Down at the front, up at the back end, remind you of anything fellas ? :thumbright: ;)
MOPAR - Move Over Power Arriving Rapidly

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My Mopar upon you

Its amazing how people start talking about one thing and go off the rails (in a good way) :lol:

Phil - I may take it to shakey i am not sure yet - bit of a drive for me.

Wendy - I am not sure about front end at the moment. Does every inch count then?? :D

Tom - like your charger and thanks for compliments. At my age its a tough choice - corsa or mopar...hhmmmm tricky one - not!!!
:D

Well after an eight year gap ...... the Dart is back in the family again There has been one or two changes made to the car since I last had it including a cd/radio installed under the dash with speakers in the parcel shelf, the thin stripes have been removed and bizarrely we think the cylinder heads have been changed but we don't know why. I don't know if anyone will have come across the car in the last eight years apart from a couple of people I know? I know it was sold to a guy down barnsley way who had it and then sold it on and then it disappeared before reappearing at a garage in Stoke-on-Trent. After that it disappeared again before reappearing in Blackpool and then preston.
Anyway if anyone has come across the car over the years then please let me know :)
We have just had the front suspension redone with thanks to Dave Billadeau and also Mark (Dustymopar) for the torsion bars. The plan is to look at getting the body work and vinyl roof sorted over next winter.

Cheers ScottyDave :thumbright:

The photo was taken last year when I first got the car back but I haven't had chance till now to put anything about it on the message board.

I have attached a photo which shows the car from last time and last year....and before you ask yes it is the same person in the photo! :D
