Jhandy Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Well I was gonna be racing the starlet this year. But it's still not finished and the season starts at the end of march. So my step dad bought this car. And said I'm racing it. Was happy because I haven't raced in over a year nowThe car is a 1964 vauxhall pb cresta. And this is 1 of 3 left in the world. So it's worth quite a penny. We have only had it a couple of weeks. And the work we have out into it is coming along nicely. I don't usually leave my workshop until near 11pm. Any way here is some pics hope you guys like it. by the way. It's getting painted this weekend so excuse the mismatch paint lol It has a 5ltr small block Chevy in it. And has ran a 12 we don't know how it ran a twelve. Because the person who had it before. Who put the engine in was told it was a standard engine. And standard 305ci run like 16s qtr mile. The gearbox that is in it. A th350 turbo box which is 3 speed auto. But manual shift. And slips in every gear. The gearbox will be getting rebuilt at the same time as it gets painted. So hopefully will run constant times. High twelves. Me and my friend are trying to make the car look like a respectable car. Not some shit heap hand painted yellow thing. If I can I may pop it up to fast show for a test weekend if everything is all done and working fine. So if any of you lot are there. Drop by and say hello. And I will talk you through the car if you like. Anyway. Leave a comment of what you think of the car. And I will post a video up. When it's back up and running Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
