Layabout.
Good start DrewiD,

Looking forward to them,

What plans do we have come on spill the beans
Ok!! Just teezzzzin'!!
As you can see the old girl needed a make over, the pop that is!!!
Plan is to strip it back to a bare chassis and box it, got a volvo rear to go in, Ian Mockett independant front end based on 'tina brakes, spindels etc.. looks a nice bit of gear and 305 small block chevy which is being re bored, heads skimmed and valves re seated as we speak, with tranny to be confirmed.
As you can see from the pics, just been getting rid of the cr@p to make way for the new!
Hope this keeps you crazy pop kids satisfied
Cheers DrewiD
I thought one of those caddy motors would fit in quite nice drew
Sorry Pete thay are for another project , any way the engine bay on the pop is bit small and I don't think the wife can handle all those cubes!!!
sounds like you have got all the right ingreedants for one nice pop good luck with the build keep us posted
Thanks for the intrest guys I will post stuff as I go, taking it apart is the ezy bit!!
spoil sport
At 30" wide it might be a squeeze Pete !!!

Just a quicky lads im thinking of running 17" rims on the back of the pop, is that too BIG?! What are you lads running? 15" seem too small to me and I can't get 16" in the style that Bramble wants!!!!
Gotta go for 15's, they look better. Just go for bigger profile, it will make
the whole wheel seem bigger and fill up the arch like this.
That looks pretty cool Kicksy thanks for the pic still not shore yet, but need to make my mind up soon cheers DrewiD.
17's on the back will be fine drew depends what look you're after
these 2 both have 17's on the back the first one has 17's on the front the second one has 15's on the front
have got 15"on mine with bigger profile tyres kicksy said have a look on my thread and you can see how they look with extended wings as well
makes me sad looking at mine on pics all done then i walk in the garage and its all in bits
Hi DrewiD,
10 x 15 with 285 x 70 x 15 tyres works for me,
Cheers,
Mike C.
Thanks for the info guys the pics are a great help its good to see the different sizes I just need to make my mind up now cheers for your time DrewiD.
