Its got a fan under the bonnet bizarre

[Oversteer]

Love it!

If you're going to play with the paint maybe ditch the bonnet scoop.

Looks ace as is though

Included in the deal is another un-cut bonnet painted to suit car.......first thing to go is the scoop

Very noice, A pet hate of mine & dunno how many sweet rides I see where aligning steering wheel to straight ahead didn't seem to matter......

That head light switch really whats that all about

You mean for the photo ? ...it driver with the wheel straight while moving in a straight line lol.

 

Headlight switch could use a older looking knob sure, will look into what original might of had..

 

Guess its not perfect or a show car...but then i might see beauty in other places....chassis work suspension.....big block with open exhaust note Ability to be a good daily driver that handles like a modern car and looks cool as frOck.

 

I would never own a completely original old car badly flawed in many ways in drivabilty and useabilty....i want to drive it !

Nice pickup lol.

 

I can see what you see in it, and personally I wouldn't touch it, it is ready to be driven so drive it I say!!

Nothing like getting what you actually want for Christmas!

No writing and some pinstripes is my preference. Otherwise your set to haul some stuff.

Its great.

[LXCHEV]

Sweet looking rig, tough as!!

[orangeLJ]

A few little changes to make it your own (id be looking at no scoop, steering wheel, some dash changes and no signwriting if it was mine)

And it will be frOcking awesome!

Very nice as it is though too.

[GMHAz]

Absolutely beautiful - love it mate except for the scoop ya gotta loose that & change that wheel for a 50's - 60's style and it would be perfect

Have fun & enjoy your Christmas

No need for stereo with open exhaust , did some running around ~50Km...used ~35L lol.

 

Snaps, few things could be neatened up but it all there.
