July 10, 201214 yr comment_614445 Khana's are great. Good cheap fun and you can be reasonably competitive in a '70. Nice work on the '55. I like the position numbers behind the wheel, you've been writing pace notes in that thing? Report

July 11, 201214 yr Author comment_614805 Hahhaha the prob i have is i take pics and not many people take them of me so it will be hard :P I did some work and have removed the rear shoes and cylinders, and front pads so i can get new ones and check they are correct as I'm not certain on what model there off :) I plan to remove engine this weekend so i can install cam and then plan to organise parts to install webbers ;) See ya Jimi Report
July 12, 201214 yr comment_614961 Looks good ,youll be suprised how competitive these old bangers are if drove properly. Does it needs more neg camber ,can't see from photos. What sort of suspension mods? rob Report

Does it needs more neg camber ,can't see from photos. What sort of suspension mods? rob Hahahha yeah she is a rocket ship :P yeah i reckon it might ;) but don't think it has much camber the lower control arms have been extended a little but not much :P king springs in front and just some super cheap shocks in back ;) This will be fine for what I'm doing See ya Jimi Report
