dont biff it,hunt down a replacement engine....from any BMC built FWD car under 1300cc should fit?Guys?

hiya rick...77CLute here. Did they reeealy spend 200hrs plus on your car? Just to repaint it? Shit,i rebuilt an xagt coupe in the same amount of time,but id lay money on which car will still be around in another 20yrs,lol. Looks very nice indeed,you must be stoked!

fuck yessir.I hate chebbys,but that is a very nice car you have right there man.Good to see youve pulled it down to inspect for hidden nasties.U gonna keep the 283 or go bigger? Nooooice

yeah man,ill never sell mine. Ive tipped it on its side,had it airbourne a good 5ft off the beach,towed 3ton from aucks to well and back,never missed a beat.

here ya go http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 245404.htm

no shit? I should open my fuckin eyes a bit betterer. No doubt i was looking at jap import replacements,fan to clutch implants.

fuck cheapest ive seen a td42 go for was $2000. Ive done nearly 300k in mine with only fluid changes....10ltrs of oil in the bastards!

if ur gonna slam it,be sure to check the underbody in the middle,under the seat,mine had a massive crack from years of bumpstop slamage. That rust in the front lower caps (end of sill) is common as,they all go there.Ther only val ive not seen rust there was my vg coupe. Looks to be a good honest body for a ute,they tended to get a bit more abuse than the cars and wagons.

sweet vf wagon man Id bin that vh40 remote booster and get the vh45 i think it is,the offset job Like the old hustlers,only other wheel besides tri's that look good on em. I may have some parts for a 318 if you want to pay postage?

first 2 door ive ever seen. and ive seen a good amount of brittish fords. Are they rare?

like this scheme,but wider wheels,and alot lower,possibly with dark tints and flame throwers

Well? Throw some ideas at me. Was thinking of matt black,white roof and lower rear area between chrome trim. Worked 360,widened wheels with original bullet hubcaps.........and dunno?

fkn alright. Al the parts have been laid out and accounted for. Heaps of powdercoated shit there,mint. Chassis has been blasted and coated ,the underbody has been blasted and sealed and then a light coat of underseal biffed on. Soooooooooo Now its the mish to chop out the shit welding and do it right,clean the insides of the doors and body and seal and sound deaden,line up the diff and weld saddles on properly,centre up the body on the new mounts,bolt it down,biff on doors and front,gap it out,bolt it down and start flattening everything off. FUCK WINTER AND A MUD FLOOR!

heres a few of her as she sits.

Sold the 440 vf coupe and bought a 57 plymouth....very similar to the fury in the movie christine..........still waiting for mine to start fixing herself in the garage. body is all sealed and primed,chassis has been blasted and coated. Im waiting for front and rear screens,and then on the lookout for a drivetrain.Its certed for a 360 so possibly a stroked 360 is the go,i dont want it to be a speed demon,just a family cruiser is fine. pics to come

naaah the windsor...harder to find....they rev better but you WANT a clevo...you know that!

My wife will be selling her GT4-Z avenir if youre keen. Only 85k on the clock,on 17s,good sounds,always garaged and serviced.

mmmm vitesse engine a plan? Cool cars the little heralds with their flip front and the like. Nice example,a true surviver!

not soo rare. They bought out one model with a strange looking front on it also. Like the escort mexico sort of thing.....looked like a munted firebird nosecone (smokey and tha bandit model). I know where theres a red and black coupe sitting up kaikohe,basically a magnum with smaller engine and less doors. Cool cars though.

Fkn egads! id say no car is similar to that car!

well. Not alot has happened. measured up the areas for the tubs,put the front brakes and torsion bars in. Just hunting down parts now. Also been lookign at how to do the tilt front,cut all the guard mounts out of my VIP and have them ready to go in the coupe. Waiting on radiator and big 727 yoke for the shaft then its a test run down the backroads.................nice 5km long straight out this way

got some time yesterday,so hooked up the ECU and other new bits....bitch fired up like it had just been turned off! Me= STOKED Pulled the single spinner out,put the 2.92:1 aLSD in. Just torsion bars,shocks,fuel tank and brake lines and itll be pulling nice large lines up the road. Still after some parts though.
