I've been sent some pics by Str8six and thought I'd share them.

As shinny as it is I believe it to be standard steel, the chassis didn't look to bad on first inspection. The outriggers had been replaced 7 years ago and the car had been dry stored for four years since. It was a different story once it was blasted!

Other than a few mods, Brakes, suspension and bonnet hinge, I'd like to restore the car back to as close to standard spec as i can so the chassis will be Red.

And my ongoing knowledge of all this S, means I can even recognise that yours is a V8 chassis.... Unless I'm wrong ?

I found with my last Tiv that a regular blast with truckwash and a light rub over with a paint brush, followed by a hose down kept it looking fresh.

This photo was taken shortly before i sold it, at this stage it had covered 9000 miles.

The new Mc1 cam has been fitted, reconditioned injectors, new manifolds and y piece, sump powder coated and a bit of elbow grease.
