A 220 pursuit motor and vynal bench seats, yeah and get rid of that padded steering wheel for a solid moulded one, now that s amans steering wheel.

Get rid of the radials and stick on some crossply razorblades and put on some rear leaf springs, now thats a real mans car.... icon_twisted.gif

lol...yer u sure thats legal to go drums all round on a car that wasnt fitted with them? dunno some laws are odd

i dont really know why u want to do it but mk have fun. how about u add a crank to the front, will save carrying around a heavy battery icon_wink.gif and while you are at that add a spot for a 3rd person to sit between the driver n passenger...i loved that idea! dangerous but awsome!

I recon the 220 pursuit motor should have a single barrel carter carb and steel rims and a high restriction inch and 7/8ths exhaust with a cast iron manifold.

It wil be the coolest retro ED about
