Its a 74 LH 173 trimatic, going for a sleeper on this one so the styling is going to be very different to my last one, for now anyway.
Just put in the venetians today and as you can see from the pics plan to lower and put on some whitewalls to make it look super GRANDPA!
Plans are for a tuff street engine( maybe 355) 9' etc.... but keep it all in the sleeper theme.
Here are a few pics and some photoshop mods.

Good thing the bug stayed with you. Is it registered atm? Or will it be off the road until you get all the big mods done?

something you might be interested having a look in mate
i agree i would just go now and get the 355 whack it in leave the numberplates as they are!!! orginal are best!!!! especailly with the surface rust etc adds charecter and would make it more of a sleeper

He said that something to do with the vibrations that they produce (or something) cancel out some of the exhaust waves... or something like that, so I dunno if that just works at certain rev ranges or on some turbo setups etc, I really don't know, but he reckons that's the reason a lot of turbo cars don't have much in the way of mufflers - just a relatively unrestrictive one and a hotdog or two.
To cut a long story short, Luke... turbo V8?

Just got my rego today BBBBBOOOOOOOO YYYYYAAAAAAAAA!!!! The guy in the pits took a 2sec look at it and sent me on my way, easy as.
Ok venetians are now white, volvo wheels test fitted but she sits to high to pull them off yet. Just wanted to see what my self made whitewalls with paint from painting the house looked like
don't know what i think of theme yet.........Prob better when i can get some old chevy or something old skool 15' hub caps for her.
So just gotta dump her whack on lots of individual ratrod bits and enjoy having a torry on the road again for a while, then the fun can begin! Did i hear v8?

Love the white venetians. May I suggest you put the hubcaps back on and look at the V8 option. Keep up the good work.

If you swap to Chev pattern, I'm sure you won't have any trouble at all finding some suitable wheels with appropriate caps. And I'll be happy to take the Volvo 'ceptors off your hands.

With the 13 it was really low, but now with the 15's i recon its just right. The front should maybe go down a little more as the springs settle??? Anyway when the v8 goes in soon it shall drop the front a bit more anyway
Ride is no where near as harsh as i thought it would be, Might go a 70 series tyre on the rear to lift it a little more (and provide a little more comfort) but still fill out the guards.
Oh painted the grill black too to match the head lights better. Got a sunvisor on the way Knoath hahahahaha we will see how it looks and if its ok i'll fit it!!
Was funny not being about to get the jack under the car to change the wheels when i got home
Here are some pics
