Yeh thanks Turbo54, i should pick your brain and learn to put my own photo's on!!
The car has received a pan off resto, 69 IRS pan shortened trailing arms, Narrowed Beam, Engine is 2276 with 48 IDF's, Scat crank/Rods, CB044 heads, engle cam, straight cuts and a whole bunch more, it has been painted in Anthracite Grey 2pack which has been modified slightly by taking some of the white out of the formula to just darken it a touch.
The Photo shows 4 stud BRMs which heve since been replace due to a rear disc brake conversion and now rides on Porsche cup wheels on a temp basis till i can decide what wheels will suit.
Big thanks to the Debiasi's for their huge contribution and skills in helping me put this ride together, with out those guys it will still be sitting in my shed

Cheers
