My Orange Mk1

I bought this in October last year with the intention of cruising it and having a bit of fun while I sorted out my mk2 again, although unfortunately on the trip home I discovered that the 1600 had a smashed cam follower, things started falling off of it and everything went downhill from there. By the time I made it home I had a massive to do list, which got a bit out of hand as per usual.

Now that I have finally got it running I thought I would take the oppportunity to take a few snaps of her. I have a bit of sorting out to do, but it is nice to finally have it running !

Unfortunately I don't know what I will use it for when it is done as I may be moving to Brisbane this year for work and this is not the type of thing that I would sleep easy leaving it parked on the street.




















It now has new floor pans as they were previously replaced and whoever did them made a hash of it !

I have put together a fresh 2L for it, 30thou over, hardened valve seats, Kent FR32 cam, Pacemaker extractors through to a 2inch system.

There is now a Mk2 front end in there, with 2L struts, RS2000 brakes, King springs and Monroes, poly bushed, Kmac 24mm sway bar, noltec adjustable top mounts etc

I changed the diff to a 3:77:1 and am yet to decide whether the rear springs need to be changed or not.

Oh and the car is a genuine 1970 GT

Hope you enjoy the pics.

Cheers,

Damion
