Not quite mate doesnt lift not enough torque from the early headed 308 :( but it has run 12.4

Hey Rob, All i can say is WOW!! I've had one of my cars for 11 years now.... my first v8 and it needs a lot of work (would rather put the funds towards the torrie though), and the persistence, patience and meticulous efforts you've put into your car is nothing short of outstanding. If my hatch could end up looking half as good as yours, I'd be a happy man ;)

I'm still at early stages, haven't fully stripped it yet, but your car gives me even more motivation to get it happening.....quicker anyway.....

Awesome pics too mate!! , wish i'd been to the right shop, right time to get a tin of bikkies!!!

Gene, its been that way for 12 years or so , We made up 3 inch mandrel bent inc over diff and it has stayed that way , never had any issues so left it, who knows may go back to duellies one day

Cheers for the comments guys and Brendan stick with it mate , most people you will find on here have had their cars for a while and never stop fixing or upgrading things , the main thing is your keeping it on the road :) Good luck with the build and be sure to add a thread so we can see the progress, ask plenty og questions on the forum as there are many that can help and have been through it all
