    Yes, enjoyed that one. Agree the dashboard was a bit yurrrk and I also wish people wouldn't do four-eyed series conversions - looks weird. Other than that it was a bloody nice job.

    Looks like a pretty dodgy conversion, there's no need to weld a series output shaft to the np435's - all thats needed is to machine the np's to series spec - looks like they went the cheap route so to avoid the annealing / rehardening machining costs? strange ( i haven't fully read the whole thread yet, so just assuming thats the issue )

    Yeah that was an epic build. Was following that one for quite a while as he built it up.
    Love the OM617 he dropped in there. Arguably the world's most reliable consumer IC engine.

    I don't mind it - good place to mount spotties, out of the way and protected.

    The colour though, all that work. I personally dont like repainted series - I reckon they look proper with faded, cracked, worn back to alloy original paint.

    I've got a mate who does resto work, hot rods etc - a lot of customers pay him to do paint work that looks 60+ years old . Aparantly its not an easy thing to do.
