Its a reliant scimitar....only its had a 3.5litre tuned v8 added to it!!! This might be a little interesting! And yes...yes those are wolfraces! mmm chunky!

Unfortunatly it doesn't work...yet....
 
Oh, sweet, I'll be having one of those sometime. I have a few plans for mine though ;)

Although to start with it will have some kind of force fed rover lump under the bonnet, just to get it going :D

One step ahead of you boyo!

mmm slotty :p you wait till we make them shiney!

It might not have a blower but it has got high lift cams and vitesse heads and a mostly stainless steel twin exhaust. Alledgedly its an engine out of the old police bedford(?) riot vans. The ones they had tuned nicly. Its a nicely done conversion with extra stiffening and stainless tanks and uprated spax shocks. Its an almost runner but it didn't set us back much more than £500 which i can deal with as I'm sharing it with a mate.


We got a bonus spare v8 dizzy and a su hif4 carb.
 
I saw one of those in a front end smash once :( , put it this way you would never got me on one.
Saying that i don't suppose many cars of the day were amazingly safe be today's standards ...apart from Volvo's :)

Nothing special, I saw a classic Corvette last week that didn't even have the slightest trace of rust on the body. They don't make 'em like they used to!

I nearly sprayed a mouthful of tea over my monitor there. Close call.

Looks good DingleBerry, even with the slot mags :)

It's actually a conversation I once had with a certain member on here who was unaware of the Corvette's construction :D but I doubt he'll own up to it :p
 
I now have a new favourite OcUK-member-owned car. Admittedly, I didn't really have an old one, but this is definitely my new favourite. Those Wolfraces were the wheels of my childhood dreams :)

The chocks under the tyres are an encouraging sign :D

Please keep us up to date with this 'un, DingleBerry :)

Oh dear God....I'm pretty sure that even the desperately remote tribes dotted around the world are aware that the Corvette is a tad deficient in the metal department for the bodywork.

Some mothers do 'ave 'em....
