For a 50 year old car it drives better then any car I have owned. It will be better when they put the big block mustang V8 engine in the front and
piss off that shit VW running gear.
Its a sweet ride. Theres Nothing like looking at the rear vision mirror and seeing out BOTH back windows I can tell you!

Unreal.
Now dont be scared off by the great number of Fuses under the bonnet .
As a process of elimination , it wont take long to find which one of the Three fuses is the one you want.

It's called a swamp cooler, it works like an evaporative cooler, you fill it with water.
25hp, I think I finally found someone I can beat in a drag race. Those extra 11 horses should give me an edge.

Dont "think" they were sold here. See em a bit in the states.
Work great in dry climate. Anywhere where there is humidity i wouldnt use it. All that water goes into the car. Unless it is dry and evaporates (hence
the name) then it stays there.
Looks great though. Might wipe a cyclist or two out though!

The swampy dose collect cyclist but since I installed the mesh grill on the front it works much better, still lets the air through and all I have to
do is hose them off like bugs.
BTW got some nice bikes out of it too!!!

With that whooping 25 ponies and the extra weight of the water in the swampie would you build up enough speed to knock over a cyclist?
Maybe you could come up behind one and slip stream for a while!
Oooops ....now "I" am in trouble
