Popular Post chasinthemirage Posted June 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hey Oldschool! I'm Sam, I've been browsing the forums for awhile now and I've finally got around to starting a thread for my old boat. This is Leila, my '74 Camaro. She's running a small block 350, Hooker headers, Edelbrock intake manifold, Holley carby and Mallory electronic ignition. Idles like theres some sort of cam in there but I don't know for sure, the rest of the running gear is stock apart from the air shockies in the rear. I bought her off trademe 7/8 months ago, she'd been sitting in an old fellas shed as he didn't have the time to drive it. I drove Leila for a couple of months before the brakes packed up and she sat on my folks lawn for a couple of months while I mucked around with my VL and saved some cash for new brakes. Pictured is soon after I bought it home, since then I've changed the wheels as the Cheviots looked too much like modgies to me, and rebuilt all the brake system. She's now wof'd and reg'd and I've been putting a few miles on it. The mrs and I took it to Hanmer last weekend and its also a pretty sweet daily driver. Sure beats sitting in traffic my commodore! Plans for the next couple of months are replacing the suspension bushes, rebuilding the steering, widening or replacing the rear wheels and fabricating a new exhaust system. Please bear with me while I figure out how to create a discussion thread and figure the rest of this forum business out!

chasinthemirage Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Nothing too exciting to report really, been cleaning up some rust in Leila's boot. I wire wheeled the rust and paint off the floor before applying some rust converter. While waiting for the rust converter to dry I started stripping and masking the engine bay so I can give it a tidy up. Hopefully I can figure out how to upload more than three photos next time, should have some photos of the first lot of paint tomorrow.

chasinthemirage Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Few pictures of the engine bay and finished boot. Still a few things to tidy up but it looks far better.Finished product. (Apart from bonnet, honestly quite like it without it)And a boring one of the boot floor. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
