Hot 6 cyl LH/LX/UC with triples and a 4 speed is something I have always wanted to build.
As well as a 308 LC/LJ.

Reminds me of the car my old boss built for his son 16 odd years ago.
It’s not an ex QLD car is it?

Yeah Steve, Just had to put that in mate. Nice car and it has a Television background :). Look forward to seeing your dream come to life over time :). Maybe you could take me for a drive when done. Think your car will be more fun than mine. Look forward to having a beer with you and talking about our Torries :). Again Welcome to our Family :)     Rainman

Looks like it has another bumper and some black in the interior now. Looks great.

 

Can you tell us a story of what's actually happened since you posted last? We need to know a lot more about the progress, haha.
