Good time for pic whoring!
How we found her, getting beat and street raced on by some kids in north LA:
She's a factory 318/904/7.25 car. Still has the original engine. No 340, but it does "run out with a lot of extra power"
Waiting to go on the boat:
Brought it back to Australia, gave it a quick paintjob, some interior work, brand new suspension, disc brake conversion, new carb, new bumpers, set of wheels etc. Aiming for a genuine 80's street racer vibe.
She came with a Dart rear bumper. Which is weird - no sign of accident damage underneath.
Rakemobile:
Next job is to build the Ford 9" i've got sitting on the bench - have collected a truetrac LSD centre, a set of 3.5 gears, good 11" Ford brakes and a Mopar Performance offset shackle kit. Will make the diff .8 of an inch shorter than factory, plus the .8 of the MP offset, should easily get a 275 tyre in there. Currently 245.
After that, i'll build a motor. Probably 2015 though.
