When I bought this car almost a year ago it was in pretty bad shape mechanically. Rusted out gas tank, leaky fuel pump, a weber DGV carb that really sucked, a poorly running BW35 auto trans, sticky brakes, a bad overheating problem, and some other annoyances. There was a few good things about the car however. The interior was beautiful, having been reupholstered at some point. The body was straight with little rust, and it came with a rare aftermarket center console. It also had a crane cams upgrade and a rare, factory third row seat.
Flash forward to a year later and I have cleaned and lined the fuel tank, replaced the fuel pump and added a fuel pressure regulator, I replaced the weber carb with a pair of SU HIF6 carbs that I had rebuilt by Rhys Kent in Canada, I replaced the BW35 with an M41 4speed with overdrive, replaced the master cylinder, replaced the radiator with a bigger one that had been rebuilt some time ago, tossed in a Pioneer CD player and some speakers, and here is what it looks like now...

Here is a recent shot after cleaning the car and getting the front grill looking good.

I'll post some engine shots later...
UPDATE!!!
As of now, the motor is under the knife getting a full rebuild with a big power improvement expected. Keep a look out for a HUGE update when I get it put back together.
