Boxhead and Lobelly are correct on the re-body advantage, however I believe this was really only an option in WA, NT and ACT. This is the direction I took as in '90 when I got approval in principle in ACT it included Jag Rear, leaded fuel and emission for the year of the engine (mines '68), and live side pipes no questions asked. I wanted the old school feel and budget was tight.

HOWEVER, I would not do it again.

With some more steel added, that chassis could probably pass the tests, but you would not be able to use the loop hole I did for emissions etc. The chassis has been shortened in the correct place to avoid an high seat position, in fact it looks like a GT Fibreglass chassis out of Perth.

I'm with all the others here, with all the work needed on this car, you might as well start with a better package and you'll suffer less hassles.

Sit tight, something will come up.
