Going for the Terry Redburn look :mrgreen:

Got any plans for it or are you just going to enjoy it?

Hi James, yeh Terry spoiled his by painting it :wink:

So far, new rear quarters and boot floor replaced plus a floor pan patch. Now pretty solid.

Has gas/air shocks front/back. Most of the work is going into the 360 motor which will have the following spec:
360 bored to 365ci, Hyperteuctial (or however!) pistons with 9.1 compression. Comp cams XE262 grind, rebuilt heads with correct springs/retainers etc, original 340 cast manifolds, edelbrock inlet, holley600 carb, 'leccy ignition. Rear is 8.3/4 with 3.23 gears
wheels are polished centrelines (formerly on Cliff Turners Dart)
with a modest tyre combo 195 x 65 x 14 and 225 x 60 x15

Thats it for now, I have got more pics but having trouble resizing!

Steve, in my view thay ruin the visuals. If you look at the back of the car all the styling cues run horizonatly (is that a word?) whilst the overriders run vertical. also, do you have any idea how much they weigh and rust!!?
(a whole bunch actually)
