After about 7 months and many problems my 74 is on the road after its new paint job. It was painted by my uncle who did an excellent job 😊 . Hope these pictures work as this is my first post on Aussieveedubbers (Thanks Barls and Dave for helping with my log-in problems)

Anyway here are some before and after shots.

Tell me what you think 😁

Some 40mm IDF Webers or if I can't get my hands on them, some kadrons.
Exhaust should hopefully be a 1.5 inch sidewinder.

Haha Phil, I thought I might have a stalker.
Yeh haven't been at the gym in a while, too busy working 🥲 Oh well, it puts engines on the table.
Not sure if it was the engine he had posted earlier. He had it in his own car for 8000km until it shit itself so he rebuilt it with new heads etc.
Would like to hear your thoughts on kadrons. PM me if you don't want to post here.
Colonel they would have to be gold plated at that price 😵

Well. New ones are a bit more...... Probs go for webers if you have high expectations. 🙂

Since George at CVD is selling sidewinders for $600 I decided to give him a call today. Turns out that they don't come in 1.5inch 😢
Anyone got any suggestions?
