History
This vehicle was purchased in 2007 in average (poor) condition - rust proofing was largely non-existent back in 1972, so most old Valiants have rust to varying degrees, plus the usual wear and tear of a 40+ year old car. Due to its condition it had previously only been registered on club rego in NSW as it could not have passed the normal rego check due to the rust and poor mechanical condition. The car was immediately stripped down to the bare shell and took five years in a home garage to get back into its current condition. Body and suspension are mostly in original configuration - with a few tweeks to improve the power, ride and handling.
Modifications
Mostly standard configuration, except for replacement of the original manual 3 speed (very sloppy) with a 6 speed T56 Tremec to tighten things up and make the power more usable. All other running gear is per original specs.
