This was an easy project, compared to some in the past. She's a 1973 G60 with a 350 chev, turbo 400. So, she scoots along quite well. ATM she's straight gas but will have petrol shortly. Anyway, enough dribble, onto the pics

In case you were wondering, the car was too tall to fit in the shed, hence the rims with no tyres.
