Stage 3
As you can see there is a nice Type 1 gearbox tucked away, shes running a spool and gears more setup for a Turbo. Will be looking to change it to an LSD when money is less tight...
Trans specs are:
Jeff Newcomb
Late Model IRS case
Weddle main shaft
Erco Alum spool
Erco Chromoly Pinion nut
Gears all weddle
1st 3.78
2nd 2.36
3rd 1.31
4th 1.04
R/P 388
100mm cluth arm
HD throwout bearing shaft
The frame horns are tied in with the yellow CB rhino mounts so its good for the street still. 28 mm torsion bars, JCL Billet Alum Spring plate and RLR adjustable shocks.

Stage 3
Wheel choice I think make or break the car and although she is a great sleeper at the moment I wanted to use a set of Gas Burners. Picked up a set on the Samba seamed like a good deal till Jeff checked them out on delivery of them, he realised they were a tag damage. Oh well of to Al Reed for polishing which may I add is a top notch job, got some NOS caps also.

The 67 is currently 4 stud Disc up front and 4 stud type 3 drums out back ( bought a set of drilled hubs and drums to convert the rear to 5x130 )
Not sure on tyre choice but I will sell the street slicks shes on now and opt for a full set of treads..Stage 2
Stage 2
Although she is solid I didn't think she would hold up well so I had the roof and bonnet painted and I will age the paint when it comes over hear. 



As you can see not a perfect match but I am sure we can sort that out...
