Update time..........

So I finally had the trailer sorted a couple of months ago,

And now its time for old 78 to have a bit of luvin...........

Sitting outside in the weather for a year while its owner healed has done it no favours...........
First thing was to get it mobile to bring into town to work on.........
All 4 brake calipers had seized the pistons, so a rebuild kit from online autoparts sorted that.
And im trying some DBA slotted rotors to see if it helps it stop a bit better..........

we all getting old . i get more enjoyment watching my son drive my 40 now . mind you last time out he chernobyled the engine big time . couldnt even find one piston .completely disintegrated thru whole motor . i had to have a quiet moment by my self . that 400 had done me well for 30 years,never got a hard time lol. but plus side he has bought me an LS1 to put in it. I have spent more on it making it reliable then what he payed for it lol
