Default '67 old skool dragger

well after getting a job i decided it was high time i moved to something older and RWD was very close to buying a bog standard un-touched 100e until this popped up and i fell in love

drove the 120mile round trip to view it and left a deposit



on the way over it jumped off the trailer going over roadworks



home safely deffinatly suits my style the paint really sold it for me brush painted in red oxide and its staying that way with satin trim





got it under cover



oooh type 3 gearbox



also came with these



after a few days i had all the running gear out of it



multi coloured gearbox



cradle had a nasty crack in it



so i beefed it up, id ran out of gas okay



leaf springs off



how'd that happen you ask



exploded on impact with my hand

not really toched the car since then



so i finished off smartening the axel up



bought a 1300




and offered some wheels up



the plans are lots of fiberglass and plastic and turn it into a 1/4 mile car next winter im gonna try and get a 1700 built up unless i get really silly and buy a pinto although ive been considering volvo power too
