I wondered if it was Miura, the vertical part on the C pillar is lambo.

Inner door done.  What a lot of work.  All rust cut out, donor pieces used to rebuild it.  Have run out of sanding discs (and also energy tbh) so going to call it a day.  Its all ready to have the skin fitted , then its do it all over again on the other door

Very neat, close!!

We all do buddy 

^^ Whats the gold thing, that’s gorgeous!!  Bolwell?

Holy crap that was a long day.  This door seems to be a never ending story, but progress is progress I guess.  Made up a section where the lower hinge reinforcing box had rusted away,  happy how it tuned out.  Then spent a bit of time going over what I had done so far and wasn’t happy with the rest of the lower part of the frame so decided I may…[Read more]

Thanks IJ.  Totally agree.  Truly built not bought.  U know a guy with a V8 powered BMW with the same kind of commitment!

Pretty happy with that given I’m a rank amateur.  Just using what I have, which is a stuffed passenger side door what I need part of for that door, so cutting and shutting to get this done. Put my shrinker to good use and made up the curved part from scratch. Now I have the old skin off, tomorrow I will be able to attach it with a dolly and…[Read more]

Turns out a father of a guy we race know the guys who use to run Adelaide Carby Sales and Service but now works from his home.  He will totally rebuild/refurbish mine for $330.  Seems pretty good, I think I will start there, swapping a carby is a pretty quick and simple job.

I actually have this totally irrational hatred of Fords. I know they have made good cars, but growing up in Elizabeth when pretty much everyone’s Dad worked at Holden’s, you just become red.  I will never own a Ford, as I say i know irrational,but…

Bloody hell, that ruined a good thread    They also look like they are made of Lego.

Lol, that’s hooking!!

I think that’s prob right, I am actually stoked with how well it drives given that.

No, I am not totally sure its the carby.  Gawler Aotumtve is a couple of hundred metres up the road from me, and they are the ones that fixed the rocker issue on the Senator so I trust them.  They also have a dyno, so I reckon that’s the go, give it to them and let them sort it.

Was hoping you might chine in Cav.  I would ideally like to keep it original.

Yea I am also leaning towards just staying carby, tbh I dont really want to mess around with it too much.  I think I might just give it to the mechanic up the road and see what he come up with.  I don’t think the auto choke is working properly, I did check the shafts and thought they were OK, but something isn’t right.

This has got to be getting close now…
