the engine bay was the biggest job on the car spent alot of time dummy fitting it till i got things how i wanted it..
it should have great weight transfer as well

About 10 years ago, there used to be an old 440 Cortina getting around Noosa. Tubbed, engine plate & a 428 big block in it. It had Vic rego, but the owner was living in Noosa. It was a real sleeper, with steel stock-looking rims (but really wide) & a fake 1" tailpipe hanging out the back. I remember that he had to take it back to Victoria because the Main Roads wouldn't register it up here in Queensland!

Juiceman · 27-06-2006, 12:03 PM

protd, that is a very very nice example of a TD you have there.

My old man's first car was a blue TC Wagon 250 x-flow with a the borg warner single rail box. He drove it for nearly 25 years before it died

The car was never tubbed and it was from Queensland not Victoria. I bought that car about five years ago. I had a hell of a time getting rego for it in vic. Was built by Shane Baker. I dont know where it is now some young bloke bought it and was going to race it.

It was definitely tubbed & definitely Vic rego & plates. He came to our workshop to see if we could help him get it registered in Qld.

BJ · 27-06-2006, 09:52 PM

I well it wasnt the car you are thinking of then. read the artical if you can find were they say ir see where the tubs are i will shout everyone on here a drink. I built the dam thing with him, and it was built in Queensland. Bj
