Ok! New project time! I've just bought this 1979 Clubby Estate shell from an ad on the forum, going to pick it up on the 29th or 30th :tongue:

I'm really excited and my creative juices are flowing! Here's a few pics that the current owner has sent!

i wish! lol It'll still be an A series but i don't know in what form yet :wink: it'll be a 1275 i know that much! I want to fully rebuild the engine myself and get the bay looking show standard too so that will be a project on its own :tongue:

I'm contemplating wether to concentrate on engine mods or an ICE install... I love big sounds :wink:

I think i'm gonna keep it yellow, with black arches, window tints, roof and wheels.

Its going to be wide too :wink: 6x12?

Ok! Thank you miniresource!
Here's a quick pick of what it could look like at the end except with the clubby front obviously...
