yea your suspensiona n brakes with my motor would be amazing! so the rears are a bolt on? Im just looking to do it down the track, at the moment stock is fine for me -with the suspension is it reset leafs in the rear and chopped springs in the front? or did u get a set made up -if your having dramas with the 24mm i think i will have dramas so might give it a miss  cant wait to see new pics, i will get some new pics up when mine is back from the mechanics, so excited about it nearly being done |

Pete assures me that very little modification is needed to make the rear disc brakes work. Like you, a project for later on. The springs are all made for the car, no cross referencing or cutting of springs at all. Jumboz in Sydney made them years ago for Dave's old 260C I'm thinking that you'll be able to start it when it gets home. How about a clip of it running? Who's going to start their car first? Hmmmmm, the race is on!

Tall one is the stock 330 front spring, the other is the JumboZ one.

one came back with a dint and the chromework didnt turnout as nice as i would have liked. My panelbeating mate sorted the dint out this afternoon and the chrome is 7/10 quality. looks nice from a distance just not close up, can see marks from where they did the linishing and pittings |

Took the car down to Tyre king and Carline mufflers today for some work. The front end needs some shimming so it'll have to go back down after some kays are put on it. They adjusted the toe so it'll be a bit better than it was, which wasn't too bad anyway the way it drove. The exhaust is a 3 incher in anticipation for its future upgrade to efi/turbo. It should be ready later today so I'll post some stuff on here later. Stay posted  Tomorrow morning its off to the engineer to get a blue slip.......with a little luck and prayers to the gods....all of 'em!!!
