Hi IndianaJones. That is a 4 door 4 cylinder that Oom Willie is building into a monster V8 with all the correct goodies. I do not have all the specs but she is basically a complete rebuild only the shell is still the same everything else is new and extremely go fast. I will ask oom Willie for the sp...

Not much happening on my project this week. Most of the parts are back from powder coating. Now we can mock up the new Radiator to get mounting brackets made. Then only can we test fit the motor to see how far forward we can bring it for the C6 trans to clear the bottom edge of the firewall. http://...

Hi Kermit.

I bought it from Gerhard Steyn. He is an electrician 3 days a week the rest of the week he works on his farther's small farm right next to the dorpie.

Cheers. R.

Hi Rassie. That is the plan. If I get mine back from the steering recon shop in time. If not I will fit it next year when we strip her for spraying. You don't perhaps have a spare F100 Pitmann arm that you are willing to modify to fit the ZF box and sell to me? I would like to have it all in place b...

Hi Kermit. Yep I brought it down from Vanrhynsdorp on a trailer. That was quite a scary trip towing such a large load with over 100km of the road being under severe roadworks. It was a "Plaas Bakkie" so everything was fixed with whatever was available on the farm. So there is a huge amount of proper...

Oom Willie Nel is tackling the transmission install job. First stripped her down to basics. http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah272/riaanofct/Srtipped01_zps42e8ceeb.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah272/riaanofct/Srtipped02_zps8a417f65.jpg The C6 is too big to fit with the stock engine mou...

Beautiful car. Wow!

Must be so cool taking her for a cruise.

Finally got my Steelies back from the repair shop. Exactly what I wanted :) http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah272/riaanofct/ReconSteelwheels01_zpsc4fb94b3.jpg Next week she is going to have the conversion from manual to Automatic done. I cannot wait to take her for a drive. 8) 8) 8) http://i1382...

Freshly reconditioned C6 Transmission. Quite a job polishing 30+ years of grime away to get a nice shiny finish. http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah272/riaanofct/Recontrans_zpsf620a820.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah272/riaanofct/Recontrans02_zps9454e61e.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.co...
