I thought I would just put a few picks up for the second love of my life (Wife first of course :shock: 
) We've been together for some 24 years, had our ups and downs but still together, this is what she looked like when I first met her:
Not in the best of conditions
Any way she's change a lot, after being in storage for a while then coming back out last year, I decided to add a few up-grades, so here goes:
I had to have the diff re-built has it had developed a knock, so out she came, this is what the underneath looks like without the diff:
Here's the finished diff:
After fitting the diff I then decided to change the exhaust, something a bit more up market, so started with the manifold:
Finished with a twin system:
The end result:
After that started on the brakes / shocks / flexi lines and up-grades to stainless steel parts (nice option to have as it stops the rusting)
Rear - GAZ Adjustable rate shocks
Front - yes again GAZ shocks fully adjustable (height & rate)
On to the engine - a couple of K&N plus a needle and spring change on the carbs:
Here's how she looks now:
More recent addition - A half cage - just in case:
And one of the finished engine bay:
And the shocker for most of you:
Yes it's only done 4 miles since I've owned it :lol: :lol:
I hope you don't mine me posting such a long post, I've got loads more photo's and loads of stories about the car, as I've said, it's a keeper
