Definitely looks mean! What kinda power is it putting out? I'm not a massive fan of the ram scoop sticking out of the bonnet

That V8 should have been a standard option! Also, side exit exhausts are the coolest mod you can make to a car. Some more 'period' wheels and you're onto a right winner with that  |

What sort of alloys are available in ZA? I've seen many many 60s-80s classics rolling around on oversize circa-1999 faux-bling alloys down there.....not nearly enough dished stuff.  These look good....I think they're Rota RBs, maybe Panasports?  Can't go wrong with dished meshies.  You could be trendy and get a set of these banded....that would be my choice, but they never sold Cortinas/Granadas over here. |

Agreed, very few old school mags have survived through the years, so looking for some at the moment. BTW this car was modded for drifting and the mags don't suit it as oldies would. |

standardish wheels & bonnet would be the perfect sleeper,
<<< this has 302 & T5 5speed.
|

theres more to life than mpg & to much power is just enough.

Thanks for the comments guys, my plan is to make it a sleeper
- bonnet scoop goes
- old school wheels or steelies
- side pipes replaced with a decent free single pipe
She goes like a bat out of hell, apparently about 250HP on tap and very thirsty too, I might ad.

Lovely I bet it sounds very nice too. When you say "locked diff" do you mean a welder or an LSD?

What sort of 0-60 mph time can you get with it?
