Ive been toying with this Idea for sometime now and this just happened to crop up on trademe 1 day.

The guy I bought this of has already had this running with a P76 Alloy V8 in it and reckoned it went really well. :badgrin:

I'm not that keen on hybrids of any sort, so Im intending to fit a VH45DE into the engine bay and maybe turbo it at a later date with a Garrett GT45.

Update#1

Well guys after having this sitting around for awhile now I finally got it of My mums lawn and into the workshop for some well overdue attention the plan is to get it to look a little like the pre facelift version of the Tomica R30 Super Silhouette formula series in 1982 & 1983

So I have started to fabricate the widebody guards that made it a force to be recond with for so long

These will be used (when finished) as the plugs for a number of fibre glass molds for the full blown body kit so that the finished article doesn't out weigh the Queen Mary

have done more since this but don't have pics of it yet 1 main difference between mine and the Tomica R30 is that their's is around 200-250mm longer in the back end which to me just looks wrong!!

I guess if it just dont look right when its finished I can always extend it

Should have this side sorted by the end of the day tomorrow then I need to bend up the rear panel and work my way bacK around to the front, Or I may fold up the rear panel then go straight around to the front and work on the splitter
