Great picture a favourite of mine but not vintage I'm afraid, it's my daughter posing in front of my coupe about three years ago at the Gow hill...
Nearly forgot my favourite photo showing the skirt in paint... [IMG]
So whilst I’m hanging around waiting for the phone to ring I’ve kept myself busy putting the wiring loom back in, fitting the Dynamat and rear...
Time for another update… I’m a bit stressed out at the moment having dropped all the chrome off at the chrome shop, taken the engine into the...
Thanks for the kind words guys. Not much to show at the moment, the Poncho is totally stripped down again waiting for the paint man to do his...
Thought it about time for an update. I did manage to get the Poncho road worthy during the summer but turned out to be one of those two steps...
Making steady progress, still sticking with plan 'B' to have it out this summer. Body is now filled and totally primed but before the big assembly...
I was thinking along those lines Fedcospeed could they also be a heatsink. Neilswheels I tend to be a bit of an optimist, which is a help when...
I feel I have turned a corner, I'm at the stage on this project where no longer am I finding new nightmares to be sorted and fixed, pushing the...
Remember I'm a Carpenter doing the metal work, so I do have to get the filler out sometimes. Rhinoplasty, I had to google that. HaHa. Harley, my...
Thanks for all the replies it's appreciated, sorry won't be chopping this one.
As a bit of a change from grinding and filling I decided to fit and start the Caddy lump. I used a combination of the original mounts mated to a...
I've been grafting, not happy with the first version of the grill I scoured Ebay and picked up a couple more Rover bumpers for a bargain price....
A little more progress on the Poncho. After fitting the new grill the bonnet needed shortening by about 3/4" and reshaping on the bottom edge. I...
HA, didn't think you would see this thread again. No stopping me now. Some time back a mate had an Oxford M.O. grill as a bit of garage art,...
I feel like a loser, as more excuses and still no progress. All I have managed to do is make a little more space around the Poncho, ready for the...
Great piece of tech.
Thanks for the interest guys, I can assure you it's not forgotten but putting the V8 in the coupe took a year instead of the estimated six months...
Pete, that fuel gauge is industrial art I love it.
Only just seen this, good luck with the build. Taking a special interest as I'm half way though with a '48 Poncho.
Bloody hell, Vince your not wasting any of that Jag. Keep on posting.
Thanks for the vote N.Z.Rodder and everybody else who voted for my tech, well happy with fourth place. And of course a big thank you to Ryan and...

Here's my tech thread, a year's spare time work of how I built my AV8. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=799356
That's it all done, for all those that are still here and haven't fallen asleep. A little video just to prove it's all up and working. Hope you...
THE EXHAUST A couple of months before I took the coupe off the road, I had invested in a 2" stainless exhaust for the four banger. Made it up...
A BIT OF BLING Nice stage to be at the moment, body back on and fitting all the bits I have had in boxes for months. Just started building...
