Here is a basic rundown of the car as it stands at the moment.

This car started life as a 202/trimatic with that ugly pale yellow colour and a beige vinyl interior...things i have changed since i bought it: motor, trans, diff, fuel system (tank/pump), radiator + thermos, guages, wheels, suspension, exhaust, and alot of other minor cosmetic things here and there.

Bodykit: Bah!
Engine Type: 308ci Holden V8
Engine Mods: blueprinted and balanced, Wade ground 286 style hyd. cam, cleaned up B-Cast heads, worked quadrajet, JP oil pump
