Your dad wants to keep jigs and templates for anything he makes for 'Dusty' (?)

There's been requests for knowledge of stainless systems on here from all over the place......including Europe.
I'm running an old Double 'S' stainless front system from a scrapper together with a rusty Mazda back box.

I'm on a wing and a prayer with them.
Thanks to Keith I have a spare Mazda backbox but if I hit anything the exhaust bits presently on the car will be all over the road.

Well done GAZ - this has to be the BEST barn find I've ever seen h[b[ . Looks very straight and bumpers line up too 8-)
Happy motoring and g-l

Well it appears I can't spell my website.

As far as my dads work goes I'm sure if you came up with a 'club design' so to Speak he would sort out a group discount.

Thanks

Had the wheels off for an inspection and a clean under there.

that looks amazingly clean... time warp almost.... you could do with pulling the rear seat base out to check the rear inner wheel arches ( the back of the radius arm mounts in your first photo) These can rust from the inside out even when the outer side looks good.

Promising? It's bloody fabulous.

You should be ashamed, that car's a steal. Whatever you paid it's worth it.

Oh by the way, It was a new spot for my register.

That barn must have been a good environment then. These cars don't usually emerge from barns in that sort of condition ... even the mazda blue sticker is still on the strut. :o I hope you have a lot of fun with it, especially with better weather on it's way ....sometime .... hopefully
