It now has a road worthy and should be registered tomorrow.

 

This is how the engine bay came up:

 

All registered :)

 

This thing looks great.

It drives quite nice too, It definitely lacks the drivability of the 4age though.

Thats the point though yeah? Cruiser.

Yeah but the mrs has only ever had the GE.

engine bay is very tidy

We had Peter Houlahan (owner of the bosses Bob Holden 82 sister car) at work the other day and of all the cars there he spotted this and said 'wow that's tidy' gave me a big grin.

 

Also took a work colleague for a drive today and his response was 'I can't believe someone tried to scrap this'

 

I really can't get over how clean it is.

 

 

My son drives one of these,treats it like absolute shit,never had a tune or a service,its rough but just keeps on going and going and going!

Yeah mate it is a rare find for an AE82

Very good score...you have done this car perfectly. I look forward to seeing it again minus the milkshake

Hoping that there is a cruise coming up in the next month.

Is that a hint? Id be keen if I get mine done this weekend. Be good to do before I'm deployed to my new job.

Great work in the engine bay man, actually the whole car looks awesome. Probably the cleanest I've ever seen an xA-C engine bay!

How is it with the automatic gearbox? Capable, suits the purpose? I've just never driven an automatic one that's all. :)

My 1st 82 (mrs 82 in my sig) is an auto so we drove that for years before the twinky conversion, they aren't bad but certainly are a lot better with a manual

Gonna sell this as it doesn't get used, hasn't for a while now and it just seems like a waste, pm me if you are interested.
