How come the V8 projects that nigie posts (with the exception of the Cobra replica) hardly ever look like the DiY V8 projects in the US? To me, they seem to feature lots of cars and engines that look REALLY old. Aren't there any well kept offerings in T'dad?

Take this resto on a Hemi 'Cuda:






And on another note, have the C63AMG or the M3 (sedan and coupe) - LOCAL - graced this thread as yet?

[MG Man]

well they are old engines
do you have any idea what a crate motor costs????????
do a bit of reasearch bud

[DSM_05]

^^Ok, so even if we forget about the Hemi engine. Take the body of the car alone. That 'cuda is a 1971 model. Isn't that old too? But then, so is the Cortina.

Of course you could talk about the cost of the 'cuda vs the Cortina! But then, you of all ppl (MG) should know about some of the restos that are done on old muscle cars to get them from where they were (rusted, old in a barn somewhere) up to restored / resto-mod status. Those cars end up looking better than when they left the showroom! Will these local offerings end up the same way?

Yes I know I'm going to get flamed - but I'm honestly asking, from the perspective of someone who knows NOTHING about this sort of thing.

Check your PM btw.

1. Cause the Cobra replica was brought in from the US of A

2. DiY ers in t he US have access to an abundance of parts and expertise especially in the machine shop department. We still depending on the man with hammer.

3. No.. there arnt much well kept offerings..our engines and cars come from bush no. 2

4. Domestic parts in the US are extremely cheap, we have 2 face unscrupolous business men here who when the done with us we often end up walking sideways.

5.Plus men like mg who have $$$ and knowledge resources keep the information for the obscure Euro car comunity here...rather than fully support the V8 ters....

[roadracer7]

Do not look at what is in the US,and pull down what is in this country,10:1 currency after shipping and handling.Man using what they have to enjoy themselves.IF we would only stop bad mouthing,and give encouragement,things would change.Go for it mopar power +ford AFFORDABILITY.

[MG Man]

oh please
de fellas wreak of the 'it go wukk so' and 'is mine so it bess' mentalities
I not saying run out and buy a crate motor or raid the Year One parts catalogue, but lots of the cars that nigie insist on showing off are just awful
and as for $$$$$ nigie can't tell me them fellas broken when some of those cars have expensively garish paintwork, expensive crims, expensive hydraulics, etc
my gripe has always been, if you gonna do a resto-mod, oh for heaven sakes, run your wiring properly, hide the aftermarket deck, do some proper upholstery etc
