Thanks for all the comments guys. So after 8 weeks at a mates shop. She’s still there but it started. Old mate I bought it off was a little dodge and said it just needed the radiator hooked up and a few other bits. But it needed a lot
It now has:
New thermostat
New rocker covers
New carby
New dizzy
New extractors
New starter motor
New air filter
Custom made exhaust
Battery located in the boot
Close to a whole new harness
New hoses
And we couldn’t find a certain plate for the shifter. So I bought a B&m shifter for it. But she looks awesome, I’ll try put up a couple of photos.

Burnout pics not loading....

Battery in boot is one way to get around that alternator-battery tray issue :)

good to see a early girl survive, not in the hands of a backyard wrecker :) and sold in pieces on the ebay meat market.

Alright boys! She’s running!!! I’ll attach a video.
She has a fantastic oil leak from the gearbox. I put a new vacuum modulator on it as it wasn’t shifting gears correctly. While doing it, i think I found the leak, it looked like the leak was coming from the dip stick we installed. I just want to ask if there’s a trick to installing a dip stick? I’m sure the O ring fit perfect!

Ok, dip stick wasn’t put in correctly! No leaks, it drives good! But I now have another issue. When I’m turning around a around about or a sharp corner when I put the foot down it feels like the diff is slipping. So with the engine change and different tranny I had to buy a custom tail shaft. So I’m thinking it has something to do with that!!! Thoughts???
