Another toy for me

Bought this home from Adelaide to put into something to have a bit of fun over 400 metres.It's an early Autocraft that I bought from Adam Debiasi, who went thru it for me to freshen everything up.Will bolt it up to a six rib Kombi box to start with,then change ratios later if needed.I will run the original Hilborn injection with Methanol in a light weight body.I have started to build a pan for it with the rear torsion bar tubes and yokes raised to get the pan and body a lot lower without sacrificing suspension movement.It didn't come with an oil tank,so will have to build something,but will have to do a bit of research to figure where to place all the fittings.

I'm sure 2016 will be your year.

Don't feel too bad bout the 10 years...Was talking to a few of the boys at Der Erste Freitag (last time i went was some years ago-another story in itself) and they asked me how long it's been for mine.....17 years-and I've still got a couple of years to finish it off 🙂 and that's after I finish the wifes car first!!

I found your post on the progress of the Oval on the weekend-so read it all again.Fantastic build.
