Thanks LG... theres recomendation for ya  8)

Yeah I have lots more pics, but they are all on my home machine. Ill get them posted up when I get back (probably tomorrow).

Im down in Brighton.

The motor is all good now. I had a spot of trouble with it a few months back, Id get backfiring and it wouldnt starts. I welded a new section of exhaust, replaced the oxygen sensor, but was still getting the same error code and I couldnt work it out (my diagnostic skills are some what lacking when it comes to injection and computers). Eventually I gave up and gave it to a mate whos a yank motors expert. He managed to clear my original fault codes to reveal another distrubuter error, which turned out to be a faulty coil lead, simple as that. It now runs sweet as it always did.

Its a 4.3 ltr v6, not the quickest of motors but it'll pull through traffic no worries and I think its reasonalble economical at about 25mpg even on the 13's, basically cos theres no point razzin it about on silly tires with a bunch of weight in the trunk, haaa, but hey we all know that  :wink:

I once had its emisions checked over and the guy reckoned it was one of the cleanest running motors he'd ever had through, the said "... the air coming out the back is probably cleaner than the air goin in" haaaa... dont think this was actually true but you get the idea  :D

Right let me think about somemore info...

... So engine all good, as above.

Hydros -
* 2 pump prohopper competition system running at 36v
* 4 dumps with 4 slow downs
* 4 dash mounted switchs to give front, rear, all up left side down, all up right side down.
* From memory I think its on 10s and 14s but I will have to double check for you.
* The front sits on cut down stock coils with no shocks. To avoid running into MOT trouble and also to make the regular drive more comfy I added an accumulator each side inline with manual lock offs nicely hidden away in the engine bay. This works pretty well so you can run a much more bouncy (shock free) front end at shows but then drive home sensibly without the front end flying all over the place. This is the only car I know of set up like this.
* The rear has no coils, its on accumulators with shocks aswell. This tideys up the rear no end and it rides better than factory.
* 6 batts with 2 bayonette disconnects.
* Install by Phil when he was working with Iain, very neat and well thought out.

What can I say, its probably about as close to sensilble and silly as you can get. Its been very good to me. Its a very usable daily hydro yank. Dont get that very offen. 8)

Interior -
Pretty much as factory. Red velour. Really is Great condition and real comfy. I cant remember the milage off hand, but its like 20k or something stupid. I reckon thats genuine too based on the paper work thats with it and the standard of the interior. Its like no-one has ever sat in the back.And theres no wear to speak of at the front. Its missing a clip or 2 from a bit of the headlining at the back which would be nice to fix but is no biggy. AC needs re-gassing. Fuel guage doesnt work. Its got the stock tape drive in it which looks ace :-) I always planned to build a stealth stereo system so it all still looked original.

Exterior -
2 tone paint job. Base is standard chevy cream but this has obviously been redone at some point in its life The top I had done in house of kolor wild cherry kandy with a silver base coat. Its such an amazing color! On a dull day its a deep rich burgundy, on a bright day it comes alive with the silver flake shinying through.   8)

Thanks Tark

ignore the white marks on the motors, this is just condensation.
