Havent been here for a while, been busy.

At long last my modifications to my 69 tri-power are almost complete!! looking forward to getting the car back out and about. I will check the upcoming club runs and join in on a few.

Its been a lot of work,  and i will post some pics soon as i can. everything will be done exept a new paint job, that can wait a while as my bank account is nearly 25k empty!!

Yes i will post some when i get it back. The car is at my mechanics for the fidly bits

Most of the work is under the car. every single nut, bolt ,bush , bearing , brake and suspention part has been replaced.

I even replaced ALL the brake and fuel lines, new callipers, disks, suspention, rebuilt trailing arms , hand brake , ball joints, EVERYTHING!! what a big job!!
spent hrs and hrs cleaning the frame. I even installed new power brakes as it didnt have a booster before.

I cant wait to hear the side pipes!!

next is the interior, seat foam and covers (doesnt really need it but i want leather), and new carpet.

I was goint to sell this Tri-power, but decided to keep it. so far, ive spent nearly 25k on it. as all of you know here, that gets about a quarter of a re-build!! ha ha

lucky for me the previuos owner has already done the engine and gearbox, so that is all good.

the rear trailing arm wheel bearings were SO bad, that when i had trailing arms out , i could not turn the hubs!! Lucky i didnt see one of my FOOSE wheels go rolling past me !!

it should be like driving a NEW car, well it bloody better!!

extremly disapointed i never got to take my car to this years bathurst races or the rouse hill show, but soon i will be there!!
