Looks strongly built but I don't know how you can drive it with the steering on the wrong side.:lol:

Those headers are cool they look like they have two exhaust tips. What kind are they?

The rear tip was added as a after thought ( home made)


Hi Aussie T. im from the Two Wells area. the bucket originally came from Vic . it was on club rego. im going through the process of getting legal for SA. got my statement of requirements . not much to worry about. just have to change a few thing like it has heim joints on the radius rods that are no go here will run tie rod ends .cover headers. getting it in track all not to major.but ive stripped to bare chassis and will rebuild just to tidy things up.

G,day mate,
Another Aussie, is that a McDonald Bros body. Looks like it.
Great car mate.

I'm not sure myself . i was told by the bloke i bought it off it was an Ian Cameron body . but it doesn't look right to me . i agree it does look more like a McDonald body. Ive stripped it to a bare chassis today . i have cut out the rear x members and replaced them with a better set up as it had 30mill twist in the chassis ( that's been fixed )will tidy up a few welds and get it sand blasted . and start fresh to assemble it i bit better than it was.

There is a physical difference between the two. Ian's are alot wider and longer that a McDonald bros. I have a Mcdanald bros and it barely seats two people in it.
Yours looks the goods though, if thats it in the avatar. You will have o put a picture on mate.
