Heres the first shots of the coupe on its way to being a runner after 25 years.

Engine arrives down under tommorrow and will be painted so will be going in in 2 weeks with the auto, cant wait to try out the 435 horses wanting to play LOL

All I have 2 do is some plumbing of brake lines, simple stuff

Have had all the A frames x rayed for our LTSA which I need for compliance

we cant put a rat rod on the road like you guys they would just laugh at us and then start on reassembling the body once it comes back from the painters,I will keep posting new pics onto this

    It all in the blood, the need for speed, just looking at a 2006 senator at the moment, with 8k on it, I had that 1 for 11 years time for a upgrade, works paying thank goodness
