Re: Seen better days Roadsters photos postings
Mainly due to the front, and rear fenders. O and a pair of solex from any 2000 wouldn't be bad.spl310 wrote: Why specifically a 1970? Most of the parts from 68 - 70 interchange easily - the exceptions being some of the lighting and wiring.

Re: Seen better days Roadsters photos postings
Fenders all interchange - you just have to modify the light holes. I still have a solex setup...

Re: Seen better days Roadsters photos postings
I almost started crying... well, not really, but some pretty sad examples! Fun pics though! Kinda a nice contrast to the super cars, and a reminder of how far some of our cars have come.

The way I loOk at it is,,, my parents yelled at me, my teachers yelled at me, my exs yelled at me my boss' yell at me. Taking On a project and transforming it into art, keeps me sane. Solidifies my inner strength, independence, and personnal well being.
If you rest, you rust.

Re: Seen better days Roadsters photos postings
I really don't like the idea of having to modify a pair of stock panels of another car.spl310 wrote:Fenders all interchange - you just have to modify the light holes. I still have a solex setup...
You don't mind giving away the solex setup for a good cause, do you? Remember, sharing is caring!

Re: Seen better days Roadsters photos postings
A few of those brought this comic to mind.
Maybe a montage on the back page of the calendar, "Ran when parked" ?

Ironic, people are welding cars back together that are in worse shape than some of these.
