Well thanks to everyone for the input. After a 650 mile roadtrip and a week of putting everything back together the old lady is back on the road again! Before During After (Hood is not changed to 67 but i have it and will get it fixed and painted during the winter)

My bad. Probably want clear enough! It was year interchangeability i asked for. As for the headlight bucket on the 67 being different. Can anyone enlight me in the differences? Is it just the mountingpoints for the grill that differs? If so ill sort it out anyway. Or is it a must to change those...

Thx a lot for the answer! Now for my next question in the same matter. I found a 67 valiant thats being parted out. If i want to convert the frontend to a 67 what parts would i need to salvage from it. If i say Hood, grill, frontplate that house the indicators along with the centerpiece would...

Well i had an accident today! Long story short it wasnt my fault but i ended up with a smashed grill and bumper on my -72 valiant. So i seen fiberglass bumpers being sold as to fit 67-72. I have a guy that has the 69 bumpers ready to sell. Would that one fit my -72. Its only the front im talking...

As it sits right now. Next on the list is the wheelspacers so i can get my slotmags on it!

If its a mopar its worth saving!

Thanks. Yeah foglights were fugly. Also the grill got a coat of black. Turned out nice i think. Just waiting for my decals for the rear quarters now.

Well finally some fresh photos from last weekend. Intense work to paint a car in 3 days but resting is for dead people! Some sanding Primed and ready for paint A bit of volvo graphitegrey Unmasked First time out in the sun

Paint is home and the next weekend im off to a friends garage for paint. Also picked up 4 slotmags today. Just need some spacers for it. Cant wait to post some freshly painted pics :)

Well problem got solved. I forgot about this thread but thought i post back with the solution. At one point my car got fiberglass fenders and the person putting it on did ditch the adjustable rubber thingys. Hence why i didnt notice any. I made my own adjustable stops from a few nuts and bolts...

Well life got in the way as usual so i havnt got around to paint it yet. But now the paint is ordered atleast and hopefully within the next month or so its off to the garage for some work. I went for a 1960:s volvo original colour wich is called "graphite grey". Pics will come as soon as its on:)

Well i thought it was time to post a thread about the old junk :) Its a 1972 valiant 225/904/8 3/4" that i got my hands on in 2009. Since then i been focusing on the mechanical and havnt really payed attention to the looks up until now. Been changing all the bad parts over the years that was...

Much appreciated. As i tought then the rearend is what it came with from the factory. Without saying your wrong about the brakes are you sure about the 2 1/2"? Or could it be that the same sheetcode reads different depending on if you have large or small boltpattern?

Well im almost certain my car is 100% original but i would like to have it confirmed. I got an 8 3/4 rear axle on it and any help is appreciated with confirming that with my buildsheet. Seems a bit over the top with that rear end on a stock slanty but im not complaining :D also i have the 10" x...

I found most of the info i need/want but i have som issues with a few codes. First of all its the axle. Second row where it says D8 I cant seem to find what the 3 is. Could only find D81, 82, 84 and 85 :/ Also on the brakes i couldnt find the rear size code for B24 as it says on mine. Sorry...

Thanks for the replies...will certainly try adjusting those. havnt looked closely enough to realize that you could adjust that hoodlatch.

I was thinking along the line of making a rubber spacer that bolts on the passenger side to prevent the hood from going down that low. that should even it out on the driverside aswell. Just curious if someone already taken care of the problem sucessfully!

I tried search but couldnt find what i was looking for. I got a problem with my hood "warping" when closed. All the way down to when the securityhinge goes in it is straight and perfectly aligned but as soon as i close it fully i guess it would be when it reaches down to the hoodspring i get the...

Nice chart there 71swing and its very handy allthough it doesnt really answer my question unless anyone can tell me if my stock 5,5" rims got 3,25" backspacing because if so the stock offset would be 0 according to that chart. Only reason im asking is because i dont want to go out and pull a...

I have some trouble figuring out you americans and your inches:) Over here we never use the term backspacing since we measure the ET in millimeters. I figure the ET is 0 on my -72 valiant with Small BP but im not sure. Could anyone here confirm thats what it really is? Reason im asking is...

Replaced the sparkplugtube seals so its fresh when My plugs arrive tomorrow. Also got a package with some new ignitionparts and filters. But thats tomorrows work ��

Well being from sweden ofcourse i use speedglas :) This is what im having at work

Yeah im quite aware of the different parts out there. What i was looking for is anyone that built a similar one and have photos of it. I would Love a pair of headers but they are damn near impossible to find here along with any parts to the slant that isnt just sparks or filters. And paying...

Im getting a new exhaust for my valiant L6 and will be getting dual tips on it mainly for looks. I do wonder what would be the best way of doing it. Split it right where the first pipe comes down with a Y-tube and then go dual all the way back or maybe split it after a single muffler with dual...

I actually got into the A-body mopars about 20 years ago with my first -64 2door hardtop valiant! I had that one for about 10 years when i had to sell it for different reasons! This one is an L6 car with the stock 225 in it. Runs ok but a carburator rebuild is on the list soon and also gonna...
