Re: P6 V8 project: Alloy wheels fitted! time for bodywork
Hi guys,
yep the wittness marks are there or rather nice clean chrome bit where the reversing lense covered the area, they are indeed series 1 lense covers, reverse lights didnt work anyway! The Blue dots are a traditional hot rod look from way back, Illeagal if you have them in the reat light lense ifself but as mine are in the relfector then there ok. Boot & rear valance are now painted, waiting for them to fully cure before flattening in mopping.
Adam, Had an awsome time at Santa Pod over the weekend, The car performed like a dream, long trip from Somerset to bedfordshire!
The event was the fantastic Mopar Nats, RWYB race weekend Full of Dodge Chargers, Challengers, Plymouth Road runners, Cuda's, 60's style Gassers etc, V8 heaven, great selection of Hot Rods & the Jet Car!.
I just had to run the P6 down the drag strip, did three runs, average of 17.8 seconds over the 1/4 mile, best reaction time of 0.7 second, not super fast but felt like 180MPH! I think the Rover was loving it, had a great run back to Somerset, I wont even mention fuel cost.... :cry: but hey its all about enjoying the car! its only money! Will post some picks, my friend had a multi fancy radpid picture taking camara so he got virtually all of my first run including my fair burn out! well the NSR tyre lite up nicely...Am still in V8 nitro heaven, dreaming of TVR 4.9 block with high rise tunnel ram, Holly carb n bug catcher thru the bonnet!
