nice mate! dont be too disheartened if it doesnt fry as easy as that is a low ratio and behind a 308 it chews a bit of power

Yeah I didn't think so still is just a cruiser won't be copping to much just the odd one here and there I put a Muncie 4 speed behind it never seen one in action or just sitting there to be honest really looking forward to seeing how it goes. All trial and error for me atm

well i have been a bit slack lately though, all the interior is going back in this weekend is laying dynamat, filling up little errors, the carpet/flooring arrives nect week so i can atleast have the back seat in before the dash is done!
hopefully i can get this done before may to get some run time before powerplay here she is a couple weeks ago, ill update after the carpet goes in and looks like a car again!

man im jealious! just brought myself a hj last saturdayto start my rebuild

ok well after the weekend fixed up half of the firewall hole, laid most of the dynamat (more to go in), got the wheel studs in the rear and brake and wheels all back on, underlay half in ready for some carpet this weekend!
here are some pics from the weekend also got a bonnet on the way to cut a hole in

well slowly getting there, fixed the massive hole in the firewall some rear carpet and seats have been fitted and got a wilson racing 2'' tapered spacer, yet to get my new filter which is 9'' dia with a height of 5''.
this weeks challenges are to get the bonnet cut and prepped, and fit most of the interior minus dash and ignition. ah the excitement of owning a car again and not just a lot of parts!

coming along nicely! was this car originally a 6?

i duno to tell you the truth i bought it off a member here who already had the 308 in her, does it have tell tale signs of a six pack?
