Awesome project car mate. I admire your'e determination in getting her all finished. There ain't nothing like an XU-1 Torana or an E49 Charger when comes to sticking it to the V8s - Hey Charger!

Love the chargers mate,

My uncle had an original E38 R/T bathhurst special. He always tells the story of how the thing wouldn't pull up when he first got it. A call to the Valiant rep reveilled his didn't get fitted with the big brakes so they sent him the complete brake system....even the full metal brake lines.

He used to also talk about smoking them up a about 25-30mph in all three gears.

hows it going

Hey , hows progres.:wax: lol
Been doing a bit more work on my Targa top now that I've finished some maintainence on the Charger race car (dirt circuit), rebuilt the front end and had to pull the gearbox due to having no speedo :bang:, was missing a little piss farting clip that holds the drive cog in place on the output shaft , what a hassle:bang::bang:.
Next up will be changing motors and then having it inspected and hopefully be back on the road , fill us in on whats happening with your beast.
Cheers Mark:D
