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

Simon

dude - thats unreal! well done!

fantastic colour scheme! love the smoked tail lights!

nick

Thanks very much. I'm very happy with it. The interior and motor still needs some work though

Simon

dosent the black andred go well together,as one of mine uses this combination

Believe it or not but your car is one of the reasons i chose the colours. Very nice car btw

thanks

Look what just fell off the back of a truck
Seems to have the word "Penrose" on it, whatever that means

Should wake this car up a bit

Might add some pictures of the car while im at it

Well done mate, stick it to em' out there

What intake are you going with?? looks like a sweet engine... !!!

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.

yeah look i don't like you much........

dunno.. could be?

ass.

Simon, there is no way that engine is going to fit in that little bug with the roof rack !!!!
Better send it up 2 me and i'll send you one back from my 18 volt cordless drill !

hope to see you at the Nats,
Nath

Damn, if its not going to fit I may as well send it to you.
Any specs on the 18 volt?

so thats why you havn't been seen lately....sitting at home waiting for the postman, eh?

Haha who are you?

phil.....my original login still works at work, doesn't work at home anymore.
is that the 1916 he was advertising a while ago?
i'm jealous!
talk to me if you want to go kads, i have been running a set for 15 years and have some thuoghts you may be interested in.

If you want kadrons, I know of a set for $900... plus postage...

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?

Thunderbird with hotdog???

Serious suggestions
