the rebuild of my 48 vauxhall

[reece1]

great project.its coming along well. where did you get that booster set up from. was it a under dash one that is at 90 degrees to the pedal. before you modded iot to fit.

the peddle box came from ebay as is, and is designed to have the booster under the dash and the master cyl on the firewall, i just added a booster and master cyl to it.
it came from these guys, they make lots of stuff.

Paint is just an acrylic violet, its got two light coats on it at present, after all the other hang on panels have a couple of coats on them, i will wet sand it all back and apply another coat all in one go so that the color will be even all over, then after the next coat i will put a couple of coats of clear over the top.

The wheels were custom made in the late 70's by Neils wheels(spellcheck) they have been on the car since the late 70's (see second old pic when blue)
the front are 14x7 and the rear are 15x10 with 295/50/15 yokahoma tyres, I replaced the old T/A's with the yokies about 4 years ago
they are all early holden stud pattern which is why i have fitted the volvo disc rear end this time round (same stud pattern) the rear wheels have a 4 1/2 inch back space and the rear gaurds have been widened using a 2" strip welded into the centre of the gaurds
