Baie dankie almal vir die warm welkom; I take it you want a photo, haven't yet done a "photo shoot". As far as I can tell the chevy has been stroked with Edelrock head and inlet. This feeds to a BMW 735 manual gearbox that is mated to the Nissan mechanicals. This is supposed to be an adventure :lol:

Hallo Derick en welkom!
Was daardie kar te koop op Gumtree? Ek verbeel my die ou wou hom verkoop as parte, maar het toe later daarteen besluit. Iets soos R35 000?
Ek is besig om 'n '84 oor te bou...
