CHENOWTH DRV2 (AUS #104)
Permalink  

I brought this chenowth from america with a porsche motor and fortin 5 speed (was told it use to be owned by Corky McMillin). Now my brother Ian and I are rebuilding it as a prolite with a VQ35HR and Albins 5 speed seq. So far we have striped the car and started changing the bar work to comply with Cams specs. I will try to update with photos as we go. I would like to thank Ian for helping me on yet another build and also Cameron from Racer Imports for importing the car for me and would highly recommened him if you are thinking about bringing a car in from USA

Hey Jonesy - you'll have to start putting yours to bed with a blanky too. That might be some sort of go fast secret.

Hey Blacky, the senors are worth way to much to wreck with weld splatter, it was cheaper to borrow a proper welding blanket, but it would still keep Jonesy's chickens warm biggrinbiggrin

Thanks Garry, You won't have to worry about my car for a while, still have lots to do and then learn how to drive it biggrin, by then your car should be more of a weapon than it already is with that extra horsepower you'll be getting biggrin. It dosen't matter how fast it is as long as its reliable thats all i want.

Thanks guys. I have to get the wrap redone later because it has a few wrinkles and bubbles, but for $190 off ebay i thought i'd give it a go and see how it looks. I couldn't believe how close the green was to the frame, so i'm going to get another one later and get someone who knows what they are doing to put it on biggrin
