So I have been working like a dog at work, on the house, with my kids, wife and not in this order. The last 20 months have been when the majority of the work has been done. I do enjoy the post here and try to contibute, but I just haven't had the time to make a progress thread. What may or may not be seen in the pics: chasis stiffening kit, engman kit and suspension console reinforcement of my own design. This console reinforcing was detailed on the club site and is in the classics. This car is being built for mostly track use, but I intend for now to keep it street legal...or at least appear like it is. The car started life as a 1972 1.7 I bought for $300 complete with 86k total miles. I got it to run with the replacement of one seal and a used head sensor. I bought it for my ding dong brother who later said he didn't want it. It made sense for me to convert this car for track use rather than butcher up my very nice 75. As luck would have it, about 6 months later I purchased a very wrecked original 70 six with a 3.0L in it........

The headlights look great! Is that just flat lexan over the light buckets?
Any closer images of this? |
