Hi just to let you all know I have changed jobs recently and have been very busy ,I hope to put the car back on the road after the continual moaning from my children has finally worn me down .The car isnt used much its just something I wanted to put right after all the abuse I gave it for years ,many thanks to all the people who post comments its your encouragement that makes us go in the garage and rebuild these cars !
Hi thought I would keep you up to date by adding clutch now fitted along with new slave cylinder .The mexico badges are fitted on the wings and the sunstrip has been replaced by a Lombard Rally one .I am trying to get enough cash together to have the seats recovered but my wife is insistent on doing more work on the house (the car will win I have had it longer than the wife !! ).Summers just round the corner and I am perfecting this drifting lark like the young boys do ,so yet again the kids at the shows can say "look at that grey haired old git in that car "happy motoring

Get it up to the workshop then and i will put one in then stick you a set of 45's on it and give it some real stick. Only joking save that for my own car. Mix up the valve master plus and and lets get it to the AVO day on sunday.
And yes project ZVH has lasted long enough for a rolling road day hit 212bhp and 218lbft. So a bit of a steam train. So time to get the 1900 cvh built and find and paint me a shell.
