Yeah but there is still a big amount of work and money involved to where it's a good reliable car. But have driven it quite abit as is with US plates and no wof and rego just the compliance paperwork. So most of the big buzz I got from driving it has worn off abit but still enjoy the shit out of driving it. The hori reactions are the best tbh haha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once you get it right you’ll be set. I haven’t had to do sweet f.a to the Belair since I got it on the road and we have clocked up some serious Miles in it. The good thing with these old cars is that they are nice and simple so getting them reliable is fairly easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's true main thing to do is a nice carb and tune and give the cooling system a good once over and get it running abit cooler. but after that will just be cosmetic things oh and lets no forget some more low low 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nominal Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 17 minutes ago, tortron said: Nah just 1 kick mate Got to come down easier than go up. I dropped the rear of my Lincoln twice, the diff head slipping off the jack pad. Once with no wheels, landed on the brake drums with no damage (lucky) Second time it had wheels on but the jack went backwards (still lifted up) into the space where the gas tank lives. Made a pretty big dent/crack into the gas tank. Sold the car after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f100_dreamin Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 You should get a go pro and make a time lapse of you getting it down. Maybe over lay some Benny hill music. Will be awesome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
