Great work...is Mr Lord advising? Did the paint?


Graeme did the engine and the suspension, but the owner did the paint on the car and the engine.

And I thought the checker plate was a bit much too, but I the bloke who owns it thinks its ok[/quote]

The guy is doing a great job.

Here is the engine bay on my MKI sedan and this is my MKI ute

1800 are a little slow off the mark but have very reasonable performance and top cruising speed, a well ported head and extractors and they really go, stage one head and twin carbs and very quick.

1800's are beautiful and Sir Alec's favourite design

I think it is a credit to the guy that is doing it. That looks fabulous. Well Done.

Lovin' the van man...

Couple of HS6's, set of extractors, big exhaust, wind the windows down on a sunny day and let her rip.

I know what it's like. Only I don't have an 1800 van.
