Yes mates, I got Ivors car now, it looked a lot of work but in reality he's provided me with a pretty sound shell
A 4 speed is already waiting to go in, so is a late model inj 360, see how it all pans out once I get the media blaster on the shell and see what I need.
Ivors got a lovely cat you know

All the glass and trim is present and in good shape, only the front seats and door cards missing, got some old M3 sports seats to go in.
His cat is one of them that looks like a power crazed villains cat as well, something oriental about it

Would you like the Bacaruda badges? One has an A missing, they came off your car and look great on my desk, I was holding them to ransom
Happy to send them to you after Christmas if you send me your details.

Yep, Devon Rex Steve, a total nutter, was under the 'cuda on the trailer dicking around while Ade, his brother skinny Ian and I were trying to tie it down...Sid wasn't phazed at all by all the banging and crashing.
I'm not looking for another big Mopar project, just a small one! I'll leave Ade to take on this one!

remeber Aussie AP5 cars were drived from this US valiant body
trim and a good few other breakables swap right over in many cases
as the Aussie cars were just CKD kits from Canada's mopar production lines often making use of last model tooling
example 68 dart 2 door bodies used in 69 VF and 70 VG in Aus
all of the cars up 60-68 Rv1 Rv2 S AP5 AP6 VC VE 4 doors mind
NOS grill bits were popping up a few months ago for notta lotta cash on aussie ebay
hood bonnet screen rubbers trim and lock strip all should fit
