hello all,I see from reading previous threads that an intro is a good idea.(I did one in the suggestions page first cos that was the only place it'd let me post)
I live in Perth western australia and own a 32 roadster of sorts,its actually a cut down sport coupe or cabriolet.The car was originally built in the mid 60's and won numerous trophys for a number of years before being bought by a local millionaires',Alan Bond who was behind the group who won the Americas Cup Yacht race in 84 with the 'winged keel' boat, son.He sold it to another guy in 90 who took it apart and did some very average quality upgrades and tried to modernise it.
About the car as it is now,its running a flattie with triple 97's and edelbrock head with a 4 speed manual box,dropped I beam/4 bar front and trailing arm rear with a 8 3/4 diff.Body is all steel,painted burgandy and is channelled 3" and fenderless.(it was channelled 8" but it was lifted back up..DOH)The interior is black vinyl doors and buckets(it was white tuck-n-roll,now gone..DOH again)Its running steelies and will have baby moons soon
I hope to return this car back to being a sport coupe if I can find doors,I think 5 window are similar???
To make this into a roadster they cut-n-shut the top of the doors just above the body accent line and fabricated windscreen posts to look like roadster posts.
I hope you guys will help with any questions I may ask.
thanks
