hi,
this is my ford pop hot rod.
runnin a boxed chassis with extra x-membersand chassis rails.
front pop beam axle has been moved to front end of chassis and mounted suicide style.
rear axle is a volvo mounted on coil overs and ladder bars, with a panhard rod for sideways location.
front brakes are ford sierra vented discs, rear are also discs(standard volvo) homemade pedal box etc with a sierra servo and m/cylinder.
engine is rover v8, from a p6 rover 3500s.
gearbox is from same vehicle, a 4 speed manual, with a shortened gear selecter.
engine fitted as standard apart from chrome valve covers on adapter plates, and edelbrock 500 4 barrel carb with edelbrock performer inlet manifold.
cooled by a heavy duty sierra radiator.
front sheet metal on car is from a ford prefect(prepop!?!)
wheels are 15" rears (on wide five pattern) wide white x-plys, fronts are 17" stock pop items again on x-plys.
interior will be plain and simple.minor seats, plain door cards,rubber mat floor etc.
colour could be satin black or nice poo brown(matt)
exhausts are to be shortie weed burners(4 single pipes each side with a silencer in each pipe)
i think thats enough for now.
cheers poprodder.
