Hey guys this old girl is no longer being finished due to other things that are more important ir business and family on its way ect.so no more updates any time soon its been wheeled into corner of shed and covered up well with all its bits packed up inside.
i may be open to selling the driveline at this point but not looking for rediculous offers if interested pm me your offer will only sell motor,trans,diff as a pack or complete motor,trans and diff as seperate items not spliting up motor stuff ect.
cheers lads bit of a sad day but there will be a day when she gets finished they way it should.

Just a quick status update. This car has a new owner (me) and is back to getting finished, still a couple of years away i reckon but looking forward to getting my teeth into it and having it driveable again.

I got a donor car for parts on the weekend. V8 diff, good motor, 2 months rego, $200. I'll drive it for a couple of weeks until I've got time to break it down and then I'll start working on the wiring/heater and AC. Then the seats will be off to the trimmers to get their new coverings.
