Guest gavwithcab Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 thanks guys. i surprised myself how well it came up. just gotta finish cleaning the engine bay and then get it in. i won the engine on ebay. car it was in had only done 57000 miles.but i had to remove it from the car, best thing about it is when i went to pick it up i ended up stripping the full car so came back with evry thing the guy told me i could have taken the full car if it had the wheels on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gavwithcab Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 its been a while so i thought i would post a couple of teaser pics. cabs nearly finished now just few more bits of paintwork to do, bleed brakes up, exhaust to weld up, back bumper to smooth and usual little finishing bits and its ready for testing. shame i missed out on the summer with it but work commitments seem to have taken over and it hasn't helped having to keep car at my dads, so now its home can get cracked on. bit of luck it might be done for some shows next year lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
