'62 Valiant - Germany

[schmalle]

My name is Marc and I live in Hamburg, Germany.
I bought this thing last year and decided to get it back on the streets again. Previous owner had it stored outside in the yard, so it was a bit rusty and needed some attention. It took me about 9 months of work and a whole bunch of beer, but now this 'beauty' is legaly back on the road again and is a lot of fun to drive. Engine is a /6 with 170ci. Not loud, not fast, not spectacular.

Thanks for your welcome!
The car is very solid, runs great and with the new carburetor there are no more starting problems. :burnout:

dwjnn2, how did you get this thing into this small enginebay? This car with a bb must be a lot of fun!

hey guys,

the valiant is still running great. Last year we dropped in a 318 out of my satellite. Was a 3-day action, heaterbox was deleted and it fits without any problems. The only thing to fix or change is the exhaust manifold driverside, tryed to do the magnum-swap but driverside dosn't fit.
Now it's got:

318ci
904 p/b
manual steering 16:1 flaming river
heater box deleted
manual brakes
2,5" exhaust

to do:
bigger/better radiator
rear axle w/ limited slip
10" brakes
