Hey guys
decided i'd finally post my build up here.
Keep in mind im only young ,I am learning as i go with my dad so any tips or wise words are greatly appreciated.
I bought my 1975 HJ Premier in 2007 when i was 16 costed me $1000 so it was obviously going to have its flaws,
for starters she wouldnt start or drive properly and it was a fair drive turns out the carby was stuffed
but after that was sorted everything ran sweet especially having a rebuilt trimatic in it (for sale).Even though i was happy with the way the old girl was running i wasn't happy with the way she looked
so me and dad began ripping the car appart peice by peice to find every single bit of rust in the body
so that we could slowly replace each bit of each rusted panel, unfortunately this was a longer job than anticipated.
The Old Idea
the plan was to put a 3.8 L vn v6 buick engine in which was all well and good for a while but we all knew at heart
that everyone wanted to see a V8 in it . So i ended up being able to convince my mum to let me put a V8 in it
after telling her that my mates 6 has just as much power as my V8 does
(just forgot to tell her that my car is 300 kg lighter and has a 3.55 diff oops)A few years later and its finally coming together after replacing 2 sill's, fixing up the rear window, a whole boot floor, a rear quarter
and 2 front quarter panels it's soon to be on the road.
I'm really keen on building a gas powered car, so eventually i would love to have a 383 stroker with direct liquid injection.
but for the moment im fine with what i have.
Car: 1975 HJ Premier
Colour: Soon to be Matte Black (Temporary)
Suspension: Monroe rear gas shocks, Pedders springs(Rear & Front)
Diff: Salisbury 3.55
Engine: 304 VP 5L (165Kw/385Nm)
Trans: T700 With Stage 2 shift kit + Corvette Servo
