Hi all
Names Chris. Porky has been off the road for the last couple of years with various issues and jobs that needed sorting. Not to mention the new addition to the family coming along, crazy how quick the time flies!! So I'm planning to make the most of the old girl this year. May even make it to a few meets, if we get any sun lol. Attached a pic below but she got new wheels on now, fill the arches a bit better!
Cheers Chris

Cheers fellas, I'm quite happy with it seeing as it started off as a non-runner in bronzewith mushrooms growing out of the seata nd mold over everything else. Not much is oringinal and it shoudl have sponsered by ebay written across the back lol

Think the latest alloy wheel addition makes hell of a difference though, what you think?

Pretty much yeah... but I did fix the gearbox too!!! I just look a little pasty at the moment :albino: :albino:

Bonnet vent was my attempt at getting more cold air to the blowers, then I found out there should be a rubber seal going across the top of the bulk head lol

hey ho... I quite like it now. might get worse if I decide to fit the V8 I got sat in the garage. Then it may have to have a scoop in the center and you can really take the piss!! :wink:
