Does that panhard have 2 bars instead of one? and does that keep the diff central instead of pushing it sideways like most panhard bars?.

I removed mine and had it laminated to preserve it because it was very brittle, I have also heard that you can immerse them in wax and grease remover to remove the yellow stain, but I have not tried that.

Was it found in the desert where they filmed the moon landings?, I'm joking of course.....

Mal you need to listen to Barnett on this one, those heads are most likely Aussie 302 cleveland and they have very small chambers, around 57cc and will probably not work with flat top pistons, I've tried it and they pinged like crazy, had to enlarge them a bit to lower the comp. Much easier to just start with the correct pistons to match your heads.

Or you could just move the sensor port in the radiator......

Thanks Ridge, that's a great video.

People have done it before but I don't know why you would want to, those interiors are so plain and boring.

Looks great, has come a long way from when you first got it, well done.

I had a friend do the same thing, cut off his thumb and first finger in a saw, after it healed up they took his big toe and put it on his hand to use as a thumb !!!

Definitely repaint in the Black Jade, that cherry red will make it look like a cheap ricer wannabe and will kill it's value, but it's your choice.

+ 1 on the Corvex mouldings being crap, their hood mouldings are s**t too!!!.

I think Ridge may be correct, the clips might have come off, also you may have slightly distorted the mouldings when you removed them and if you have a new rubber seal they can be too thick, either way you will need to remove the mouldings and see what the problem is.

I made clamps and mounted the hose using the intake manifold bolts, of course mine is right hand drive but you get the idea.

Have you got the correct pedal?, power brake pedal is different to manual brake pedal and mounts in a different hole.
-
I see that exhaust system as being a real problem, it's just to close to everything, have you considered getting it rebent to gain more clearance and ceramic coating would reduce the amount of radiated heat.
-
It all depends on how much you want to spend, cheapest option would be a used T5 from a junk yard, if you have more money you could look at a TKO 500 or TKO 600 or T56 six speed, Modern Driveline is a good place to start.

Great photo's, I know what you can buy- a new hat!

Wow, are you sure you want to do this?, that thing is heavily rusted and you will just find more every time you look at it. Convertibles are much cheaper to buy than fastbacks and you could buy a nice car for way less than this will cost and also save hundreds of hours of your time.

Sorry to hear about your transmission drama's but have you considered buying a new toploader from David Kee, about $2000 with all new components and you get to chose the ratio's and also have the option of an aluminum case .
