Title: I FOUND SOME OLD PICS
Post by: artie on edge on March 11, 2009, 05:35:34 PM

I thought i had lost all these and as im off work for a few days (ripped my achilles some) Im going through old boxes and well...nice to find a coupel more shots of the old beast.

I raced thsi thing for a few years in our national championship until forced out by rising (escalating!!) costs. Sold it to two young guys who destroyed it end for end in a high speed fucX - up.

The front half is now a bar in a guys pool room, cut from the front roll hoop. Its bolted to his wall, looks like its drivng through his wall. The bonnet lifts up on gas struts and all his drinkys are inside it. He assembled a front end from old worn out or damaged bits I had laying around.

lol...might have been the seventies in the US but was the eighties here... these cars are still running around today (not very competitively but still here).

Would be simple to convert to a wishbone front and get a bit more use out of one for club events.

Just got off the phone to Ian (owns the car/bar) yeah it might be for sale. No never actually got it finished or mounted.... im having a look at it this weekend, stay tuned she might be coming back home yet!
