  1. Have you considered the Leyland 4.4 V8? Just make up some 19mm spacers for the efi manifold and enjoy an extra 900cc
  2. Yes the early models were BW35s Later ones were trimatics... ( would like one to run in my P76)
  3. I agree but If done right they can look quite good Taking a bit of inspriration from this car
  4. Im yet to meet any members in person , they seem to be a good bunch... but yes they definitely fit the description of "Barrys". If you cant beat'em Join em!
  5. Yes it is aspen greeen. At some point in its life it was repainted in a slightly lighter shade. As a result of acquiring the car ive ended up joining the NZ P76 club, they have given me a full history of the car dating back to the late 80's. Its been through a number of owners in its time but at some stage it languished in the elements of wellington for about 10 years until the people I bought it from brought it down south. And I bought it from them . Random thing is though given its history its only done 74000 ks from new.
  6. Not sure if I want it to stay green! Unless its the factory booger lime green a.k.a Leyland Hairy Lime!
  7. So It sat on my front lawn for a few months until we got it going so it could go in the garage in the back yard since it moved into the garage i have slowly pulled it apart and tagged and bagged every little thing. So now it looks like this.
  8. Nah its not a Targa , just an exec with the stripes
  9. They certainly have room for more activities in the boot.
  10. Dont have a Drum to put in. I will upload a boot shot later in the day as currently working on it.
  11. Tell me that this car is not more Aussie than ya Holden. Or just hurl abuse ,either way.
  12. The trip Home. We stopped in Timaru to grab some lunch. Had to take up all the spaces at paknsav carpark. I got lots of filthy looks from people for doing this haha.
  13. Hi Guys , Bought another project this time its in the form of a rusty leyland. So almost a year ago I came across a this for sale on FB marketplace ive always been intrigued by the p76 and secretly kinda wanted on , however at the time I didnt have the money they were asking, so I left it . Over the following 3 months I noticed that the sellers had continually dropped the price , once it came up for 2k I contacted them, arranged to have a look. What I was greeted with was an exceptionally rusty car but it wasnt too far gone and it was 98% complete. Discuss----->
  14. cheers mate , looking forward to seeing how it works out for you. I might do the same on my car when the time comes .
  15. Love what you've done with the ignition system, I'm in a similar position as my Holden V8 Hei distributor module has started to pack up. What you've done has given me something to think about. Would you be able to show a diagram on how youve wired it in? no pressure!
  16. Thank you I'll look into it ! enough of my threadjacking, Which engine are you planning to drop into your MKII?
  17. oh dear! Sorry Mate, I'll have to pass I need the rear roof gutter intact aswell! Thank you for your time! I'lll keep looking for another roof cut
  18. If your willing to do that! That'd be Awesome! I only need the rear 3rd of the roof and the top half of the C pillars, If thats doable, of course!
  19. Well done on finding a MKII! There arent many about! I'm going to be cheeky and ask what is the top the rear windscreen like on the yellow shell?
  20. Hey Indy My wife has an XJ40 on our driveway awaiting repairs. Does your self leveling suspension in the rear work? Fantastic cars, go well too (when they do go)
