Hammer Time!

corazon said:What wheels are going to be wrapped in all that rubber?
I'm guessing you're going for bulged arches at the back at least then?

hello there....your car was already in my 'favourites pics' box....not least because of our taste in colour or lack of it as some would say, as we have satin black and matt black runarounds!
chrisyork said:That sounds like a plan!
I particularely like the idea of having just the outer two lamps at the front.
No need to do any work to the suspension - except as needed to fit the wheels or raise/lower stance.
Do you know the P6 was designed with frameless windows? The stainless steel frame sections that hold the glass and fit into the doors are afterthoughts and the car looks much better without them. Even better, it was also designed pillarless. That is, the B post stopped at the glass line, leaving an uninterrupted opening from front to rear. There is no problem with strength in the base unit to return to this - convertibles need no chassis strengthening.

KiwiRover said:Interesting looking project. Do you intend on keeping the 4 cyl or is a V8 on the cards too?
I'm more interested in your base unit there. That is a very early car. Dunlop brakes and a small brake booster mean that it is mid '65 at the latest. Quite a rarity.
hi there,
Love the detective work some readers take on.....yes an early car, a '65 I would have you know.....i have larger servo knocking about....i should have put that on to throw you off the scent!!!
keeping 4 pot for now!.........but I have a liking for 4 more cylinders... 8 !!! if you get my drift !!.....but that would not be out of the norm.....so twelves a good number of cylinders!!
all the best

Don't think you will get much resistance here about what your plans are for your p6.
We love to see new things happening and after all as you say it has been saved from being scrapped and it's yours to do as you please, always a good thing that someone takes on a project and can get some joy out of it. I'm sure it will look awesome and can't wait to follow what your doing, so please carry on and keep us updated when you can..... Don't want to hinder your progress
It's only money and time at the moment that stops me from purchasing and fully customising a p6 :wink:
