    My A72 Build

    I do apologize for the delay of this thread .Finally found some time to post it.After a lot of ups downs and a lot of support from other petrol heads the build was successful .. so let me start from the start........ This is the base car A little bit of history-The has been in the family for the last six years.First owner is my grandfather and it was never transfered after that. After all of those years of usage the car was in bad shape.rust was coming out of all over the place so first things first started off with the rust..stripped the car down to its bare metal and started off with the tinkering all of the floor boards the firewall and doors were tinkered lkl While the tinkering bit was been attended to did some custom work Built a custom member brace And this is the finished member brace After the member brace started work on a adjustable strut bar. This is the finished strut bar Paint work was the thing that took the longest time..The car was scraped to the metal and then oil primer was apllied This pic was taken in the night right after the final coat was appllied The engine was taken out and the 1200 was bored to 1400.A custom oil cooler setup and an air intake manifold was fabricated for a coldair ram intake manufold

    Disc Conversion

    Yep it was built from scratch.The bumpers were beyond repair thats why i had to go with black paint...painted the headlamp rims in black to suit as they were also not in good condition.Butthe beading and the rest of the chrome bits are all good
