Very nice car man, the choice of color is very original, and works so well.

Interesting, almost everyone seems to like that model grill as a favourite, me too!

I think i'm in love.

sex!

love it mate!

now just slam it :(

78k Rolla - Shame your not in brisbane, Building a 7k with heavily worked 7k head (shaved / angle job / porting yada yada), bigish Cam, Solid lifter conversion, Twin 40 Carbs ... Mmmm :D !

 

Lets Race down the 1/4 lol :(

Mmmm, "custom" and "clutch", you'll want to hope it lasts, the next time it needs replacing its going to be a lot more $$$ again. I would personally rather have a standard (ish) cheap clutch set-up and change it a bit more often, than a dear one that lasts longer; less chance of breaking other components if your clutch is the "weakest link". Apart from that, awesome, mega neat 'rolla with grunt, what more could you want?!

Ya i'd be inclined to have the same thing with the clutch by making it the weakest link. You can still drive with a clutch that slips (well, to a point at least) but you can't drive with a busted diff.

 

 

But other then that damn nice chariot you have there

Thanks for the comments guys. :D And Teddy i'd really like to take you up on that offer :(

Thanks mate. I'm working on getting some interior pics. I got the halogen lights as a kit from auto-one. You should still be able to get them.

They should be available at SuperCheap or Autobarn? I got crystal-cut (altezza) pair from Autobarn for around $70. :bash:

AWESOME rolla Matt, :lolcry: You're right too, do it right first time for reliability and strength.

Sorry about the quality of some pics.

 

 

Matt.

The car looks great Matt hope to see it in the flesh in the next couple of days ill send you a text.

 

stu.

thanks mate, we just cut the sump where it was not clearing the cross member and rewelded it so that it would clear. Also the custom clutch was made specially to adapt the ke55 box to the 7k flywheel. It cost a hell of a lot but was worth it as it saved alot of mucking around and it's probably the strongest component in the driveline now.

cheers

Matt.

 

Would you happen to have a photo of your sump mods?

I do but it wont help you much as it was taken when tyhe engine was in the car :yes: But here it is never the less. You can only just see the cross member.

Cheers
