This is it. Rough as shitter I plan to strip / spray and get rego'd as a daily driver. Once on the road I plan for V6 and 4spd auto conversion.

It has a VK EFI and trimatic in it at the minute but I'm over it (makes pretty crappy power compared to what I thought it would do) so I'm putting a red six in it for ease of rego and then a V6 later on.

Engine Out
Heaved the Black EFI 202 out. I only had it going in there for a couple of weeks but it made shit power so I'm over it. Picked up a 186 cheap as so that'll go in for ease of rego. Shame cos I did all the hard work of wiring the EFI and running the return fuel line etc.....but thats life. Plus if I go V6 in the future the return line will always be there. :-)

Painted Engine Bay
Then hit it with 3 or so coats of 2k white. Looks pretty terrific for an amatuer hack like me.

hub cap
My plans (at this stage) for the wheels are these HZ Prem hubcaps with white or red wall tyres. It is going to be miles from looking like a show car but a nice clean old period looking ride is my target.

Just because it looks straight doesn't mean it is.
