Happy to help. And I know the owner of that car by the way

Crushed?????

Looking fantastic mate! They are flying through. Can't wait to see it done!! I love the choice of ferrari red as that was what i wanted to do with my other coupe project I sold. I can't cut up the race car tho so no GTR there, and my sedan would look horrible with the GTR treatment!!!! As to the low VIN it would be an early 73 car. Not the lowest I know of though, but a nice early under 1000 car !! Got to be happy with that. There is a coupe to be restored in Melbourne in the low 00500's, and in the US another coupe exported from Australia is a 00280 region VIN. My race car is sub 00430 FYI

Ok i managed to source a Weber 48 IDA for the car. I need to still pick up the original race manifold from a guy a know, becuase that has the adaptor plate for it. If you see the earlier photos in the thread, the original manifold is the top "T" piece manifold, not the long runner GT style one. I want to modify the long runner style one for better flow into the intakes. It's an ITALIAN one too, so I'm stoked! Much better than the spanish equvilant. The build quality is much superior with finer tolerences. And as a bonus it came off a big port 13B rotary race motor. I'll need to check the jets/emulsion tubes/venturi/choke specs etc etc but it's already modified with the return spring on the throttle arm. I'll have a look at it for wear before deciding if I'll refurbish them myself (with some hydro blasting) or send to a great carb shop i know. Some refurbished 48 IDA's (a pair can reach $2500 AUD!!!!! :shock: ) But this was the last major peice of the puzzle to return the car back to period specifications. All the other bits I'll need I can "borrow" from my other blue 240K sedan. The cruiser gets some go fast bits and the race car gets factory, period specific "modified" parts for it. I recently caught up with some mates while checking out how the bodywork is coming on. Thats all for now

Will need it for that!!!! Nervous for when I get up there

Foot support for hard cornering

Work has started!!!!! Trial fit of the repair section. Will now be cut out and repair welded in. Starting to happen quickly now 8)

He's keeping it all!!! Can't you read?

I contacted a few photographers about pictures. David BLANCH from the Autopics website came through!!! I sent David a copy of the log book entries and he went searching through the archives and found some gold. Now to BUY the prints!!!! These photos are from Phillip Island, Sandown and Calder Park as far as i know. The years vary from 73-75 No updates from the painters yet. I'm heading there next week to discuss colour matching to original factory paint cards.
