V8 Project

We are now in the process of doing our latest project which is a 1972 V8 Roadster and will be for sale when completed, it will have a rebuilt body, 3.9 V8 with Holley carb and RV8 manifolds, it will have Navy Carpet, Barley trim with navy carpet on the bottom of the door panels and matching leather seats.
Our V8 Project has now moved forward with the bodyshell fully panelled using new sills, wings, doors, bonnet, boot etc and the modifications have been made for the V8 engine, there is just the final preparation to be done now before it's ready to be painted.

This car has now SOLD but you can continue to watch its progress.
 


 

This V8 will be fitted with Bilstien rear telescopics, Bilstein coilover front shocks and a Lumemition ignition system.
Here you can see the V8 bodyshell in our own Spray oven and the cockpit area has now been painted in Midnight Blue, you can still choose your own interior spec etc now if interested. 
 
 
You can now see that the shell has been painted and looks great, it will shortly be moved from our spray oven and taken into our workshops for the next stage.    
We have now started to assemble the car including lights, some chrome work and importantly the Bilstein shock absorbers with parabolic springs and rebuilt rear brakes on a rebuilt V8 axle.
We have fitted new hubs and rebuilt rear brakes.
 
Here shows the re-built front suspension with polybushes throughout and a Bilstein telescopic conversion to match the rear.
We have now fitted 15in Alloys with 185-65 Tyres, a re-con windscreen and also the engine and gearbox, the customer chose the 3.6 engine
  Here you can see we have fitted 4 Pot Calipers with Green Stuff pads to the V8 Discs.
 
You can see here that the brake pipes have been fitted
 
 
These two pictures show the power steering fitted as well as the carb and distributor.
There's been a change of plan with the wheels, the customer has decided to go with wire wheels and here you can see the new hubs with spinners fitted and then the 15in, 72 spoke, wire wheels with 195 tyres also in place, also we have now fitted a Motolita leather rim steering wheel and Elm dash, which all looks stunning.
 

The customer has now decided to have a twin exhaust system so we then had to modify the fuel tank to suit and it all looks great, also here you can see that most of the interior has been completed with matching roll bar and windstop, the electric window switches look very neat in the centre console and its all looking fantastic.

You can now see that the V8 is finished and on the road, its sounds great and drives really well, the new owner is extremely pleased with its performance, handling and appearance.

 
 
 
Now in stock the latest Roadster hood cover from Cover systems, its breathable, light, and is easy and secure to fit on, this will protect your hood from water ingress, pets and bird droppings and stop your screen from frosting over when left outside, it comes with a handy little storage bag, this would make an excellent gift @ only £39.95
