Rear goalpost had to come off again because the top rail was too bad to save.

Nice thing about a huge project like this, fucked off with welding and bodywork? rebuild a set of carbs.

It was also a big mistake to juggle this huge project with anything else ! thus I am 2 months behind schedule. Here I am pulling the arse end of the body frame apart, something is not right but I cannot work out what at this point.
I have no reliable basepoint, back of chassis replaced, rear sill chassis points replaced, roof rails of body frame replaced. goalpost crossmember had no reference point when I put it together.....

Because the bargain v8 that has gone in, is an ex Disco 3.5 EFI unit it does benefit from post 76 heads. I thought that I would add 3.5 twin port exhaust manifolds to improve shit but just ended up making more work for myself.
