well this is what 9189 looks like today, a sorry little car as you see but will go on to greater things. had a few shocks when i have been tearing the car down but nothing i cant fix, hopefully. the shell will be repaired and patched up, there is just too much rot to repair it to as new so i will just do my best with my trusty old mig. the motor is a total wreck, been sat for years with water in the bores so im thinking of buying a used mustang motor to go in, any thoughts on this ? also i thought about paint and think the same colour as the humvee ? no serious its so in your face just like the pantera. got plenty of time to think on that some more though.
well its been a while, over a year in fact, but 9189 is now in the paint shop. 15 weeks im told and i can have it back i will go down and take a few pics to post. all the mecanicals are ready to bolt back on and im out for a motor to stick in as the last was not recoverable. just a few more pics, i got the shop to take off the arches so i can see if i really want them on the car......i think i do it looks so tame with out them but i have opted not to use the running boards. alls going well it took almost two sheets of steel to get this far, the car will never be a show winner but it is solid and strong and will get used not just parked in a garage.
