This is my valiant when I first got it.One of my friends dads gave it to me because he didnt have the time to do it up anymore.He was realy stoked when I wanted it because he thought no one would, (how wrong he was!).I had just got it going and I couldnt resist I had to go for a drive in it!

Another view of the valiant.That primer you see on the car was 10 years old and was done by the previous owner but unfortunately the water had got into it and it had started rusting so all of that had to be striped of and repaired over the whole car.

This is my valiants power horse.Its a 318 v8 with a mild street cam and sports coil putting out about 230hp.It is bolted onto a 3-speed borgwana automatic transmission.Around the engine bay is other goodies like the Impco LPG equipment as well as trailer brakes,boat winch and power steering!

I got the motor the LPG system and the dash pulled out so we could get every bit of rust and so the motor can be painted.This pic shows the motor before water blasting and degreasing.

Nice One. Good to see you're willing to spend time with her. It won't be for nothing, trust me. Everybody loves 'em. You don't have to have a Charger to get looks. Have you seen my VJ sedan? P.S What front clip you gunna put on? What model? Have you lowered it at all? The rear leaf-spring.. the front shackle.. you can turn it upside down.. that loweres the car 1 1/2" without spending $1. Cheers, have fun mate.
