V8 Ford into 68 122 2 door y Quatro 120-130

Well..... it's been 9 months since I updated anything about this project. I had been taking pics all along and dumping them in a folder waiting for something to actually get finished. Nothing is really finished, but things are in place to be finished. I can warn you this is a long story, both albums have about 100 pics in them.

So? What's left? The back half of the car needs to be "sculpted", shouldn't be that bad. I need to go have the driveshaft made up. I need seats. I need to make sure the rear end is in square. A lot of wireing. A lot of new part buying. But it's getting close! I still can't believe it's been 2 years, but then again, I can't believe I got up out of bed one more day.

Maybe the next update will have it running, really depend on how I feel. The pulley is being machined right now, so I will be able to bolt in the radiator, alternator in, once and for all. That will let me bolt up the front panel and fenders, adjust the latches and pretty much be done in the front for a bit. I may have to have a friend paint it for me, I am really having trouble holding my arms up. I couldn't lift a jug of milk out of the cart the other day. It's really not that far from paint work. 2 years ago I would have bet confidently that this would be cruising the car shows by now, I would have lost big! Anyway, it's getting there! All links will open in a new window/tab.
