They remind me of the days when me and my mate had one of these as our every day road car in the early 1980s

Now that's what I am talking about  ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up

I love the sandrail look and now prefer it a little more without the panels.

Next step sorted. I am now the owner of a '66 rolling chassis, so work has started on strip down, media blast and shopping list  ;D

miss the days when we were out in the old rail ;-)up
was so light at the front, we used to pick it up at the front to turn it round in the car park at work. It was too tight to turn round.
Other drivers used to spend ages moving back and forth to turn their cars round to get out :)

Thanks for the pic chap.    Can you send me one of the steering column too, I need to see the whole thing including the mount plate.

Mark, you have an adaptor plate on the gearbox, post up a pic.   I have my suspicions what it is for.  Someone on here might want to buy it from you if it is identified properly  ;-)up
