Few people should have seen it around before, being previously owned by Dan (Gipson) and then Zache (Zllewyln).
I have some pretty simple but effective plans, as I want to keep the originality of the car. Anyone who's seen it will know how mint the interior is!
So far, i've added little more than custom plates and a Podi oil pressure gauge. The ATS Classics which where on the car have been taken off, and i'm currently rolling a set of ATS Pepperpots whilst I finish the new wheels.
Future plans involve a new dash, or re-trim of the current dash, wood grain Nardi steering wheel, VDO gauges (oil pressure and new clock), chrome bumpers (if anyone has a set let me know!), Ol' Skool Vulcan Werks shorty oil pan, 270 cam with HD springs. But most importantly, a complete bare metal respray in the original Saluki Brown Metallic. During the process, I will also be installing a set of Happich Pop-out Windows. ;D
A few other things will be tidied up along the way, but for the moment, they're the major plans!
Hope you all enjoy! Once I get home from work i'll add a heap of more photo's.
Nice plans Byron.
so you got the happich windows!!
Sick ride! Good luck with the build.
Post up some offsets and sizes of the wheels if possible, car looks great.
Love the Saluki brown dude. Looks like its in good hands too. Watching eagerly .

Thanks guys! The Saluki brown is a wonderful colour I love it!
As for wheel specs, from memory they started out as RS045s 15x6 ET38.
Should be sitting at 15x8 ET13 rear, 15x7.5 ET19 front. I will double check when I get back home though. 2.5" and 2" dish respectively!
Keen for updates dude, good find with this one. I like your plans too!
