new member of the family arrived today!!
2dr swallowtail

been searching for a project one for about 2 years, then jarred wanted to sell, so i snapped her up.
plans, well i'd love to do a ground up, 2.0 16V, webers, as road legal race as i see fit. but thats all the fiddly stuff, just gotta get the body done first. when i start the car ill pop a thread up

which means, i'm likely to sell this light blue 4dr swallowtail in a few years.

It's been a while and I've been a bit slack lately.
Been gathering up a few bits and prepping for painting. So today I managed to get them painted.
Items are:
Mk3 booster, radiator fan cowling, front strut housings, top hats and carby inlet.

its been a while, so a few updates are in order.

finally managed to get the mk3 booster and MC in and brakes bled.
verdict.. its actually alright with the standard brake setup. stops heaps better than the standard setup.

if your wondering what reservoir that is, its from a nissan n13 pulsar (as pete jones said in his brake upgrade thread). looks heaps better and is a direct fit onto the mk3 MC.

and a little teaser for whats to come...

just gotta do a final check to make sure i didn't miss anything, then off to get a roady and get her rego'd

the driveway turned into Golf city!!
a mate (eltonking) brought his new toy around (hurry up with a thread dude!!!!)
so that's 3 x 76 mk1's (2 being 2drs), mk2 and a mk4

Nice!

Cheers Anthony.

Found a hole in the radiator, don't know how I missed it.. Anyway patched it up today after work with some silver solder, as well as brazing the brackets back on.
Time for a lick of paint and in she goes.
