I built this out of a std HJ van. Put HQ front on it, coat of paint and stripes etc. SBC, TH400 & 9"
Had it registered for a couple of years, but it's not anymore. Becoming "strip only" car

This is where it's up to now, but haven't had any spare time lately to get it finished.

looks evil!! How awesome to get near two tons of steel to do 400 meters in the 11's. Lots of respect

. Would have been awesome fun on the street too!

Have done a bit more on the panelvan. Front is on.
My mate made the extractors, 2 1/4" primaries into 5" collectors
Wiring is done. Dash is done. Lexan windscreen is cut out, but not yet fitted.
Need to get fibreglass bonnet made and fuel tank are the main things in need now.

I hope the pic loads OK
