1964-1/2 Dart V8 Cheapo Projekt

I wouldn’ call it a resto. It’s just my little fun projekt!

At Christmas I found this little eBay-Dart and finally won the auction


Four months later the Dart made his way from Inglewood to Rotterdam, from where I could get it to Germany without having to pay lots of tax and duty

We found a nice 2bbl 318 in the ugly blacked out engine bay


I just wanted to swap the steering to manual. But there was so little room – finally I pulled the engine


A little cleaning showed that it must have been rebuilt short time before. Unfortunately with cheap pistons


Few weeks later the 318 had a 340 cam, offy singleplain, 500 ede and was ready to go into its engine bay again


But I couldn’t put this nice and clean little thing into this shitty hole


So I sanded it out and rattled some cans


And this is OK for now. It runs fine!


But there is still a lot of fun work to do! Cheers!
