Chicken

Post by LONGSHOT »

Cheers Pete,didn't chicken out just that they would of ruined the factory sexy look of the axle-and my 318 doesn't justify it really.

I think, that is going to be a nice little sensible car there Dave...

Will look good, and now you have a decent axle, I think the times will be very reasonable. Little bit of nitrous would perk it up!

looking really good, clean metal is something I dont see much, mine has a brown complexion to it.

I hope you move those side quarter windows in the early pic, grinder sparks will ruin glass in seconds, and I do know that! :(

Great pics Dave.... Loving this thread, but I would, wouldn't I?

Really interested to know what it will run with decent tyres and rear end!

I should've sold you the nitrous kit I bought for it as well! Still have it... Still unused! Sitting in the trunk of the Fury right now.
