Thought I'd show my car to you guys.
I've had it since June, but not really had a chance to do much to it. I bought it from a friend in Stoke, who got it via Ebay. The car has spent most of its life on the same street in Wales, until the last couple of years. Structurally its pretty good, inner rear wings will need welding and it will need a front valance and 2 wings. I have a n/o/s right hand wing, and may have to rebuild the left side if nothing comes up.
I promised myself an early carina, as my father owned a flatlight TA10 in 1975. I normally collect Datsuns but this is a far nicer car to drive and it seems to be better built ....(but don't tell the datsuns guys!)
I have also just picked up a donor car, with a seemingly good TA40 T lump. I have listed the spares car in the wanted section if you need bits.
In addition to this, I thought I'd share some snaps I took last summer with you....
Unfortunately both cars are earmarked for the oval. The owner, despite being a reasonable guy wouldn't even let me take the wheels off the Carina. The Corolla was an Auto and drove really nicely.
Cheers!
