Bob,just a couple of pics of the turbo mounting...it looks kinda messy at the moment as we still haven't finished fabricating it all...it'll look pretty when it's finished...lolhttp://upload2.postimage.org/125932/_cid_002501c62c44se7a44aa0s0502a8c0_acerb0474dc4.j pg (http://upload2.postimage.org/125932/photo_hosting.html)

Hey I know that guy. LOL.

Truth be told, I cant take credit for shoving it in there. there was a 289 in the car when I got it. the nimrod that owned it B4 me dropped a screw down the carb & holed a piston & bent a valve. So I yanked it & build the 302. it was a Complete wreck when I got it. It was pretty nice when I sold it so some Swedish guy with more money than sense.

I saw it a few months ago, its a POJ again.

there is kind of a build up on that car on this page. http://www.r71camaro.homestead.com/Roadster.html

that was/is the LAST Furd I will ever own.

That's a sweet looking car. What exactly is it?

Maliboost, I wish I had thought of that name, since I'll be adding a turbo to my '98 Malibu, maybe I'll modify it a bit . ;)

It's a 1972 Vauxhall VX4/90 FD...... :-D
...your with everyone else who's never seen one...
The did sell them in Canada as the Vauxhall Envoy but never sold them in the USA.
They did have one in the USA though...that one.The pic was taken in Loiusiana in March 2005 at the World Street Race when we shipped 4 cars from the UK....Nice to see an English licence plate roaming the streets of America... :-D
