thanks everyone!
Im mainly doing this car up as a daily to cruise to work and back, Im on pretty good money from working interstate so im gonna be pouring a fair few $$$ into her over the coming months. However, I am a first year apprentice so i dont want to drop a new engine in it because at any time i could stop working interstate and be in a shitty financial position again and be unable to fix things that break. I do want to get the most out of the engine though

And most importantly i want it to look nice with lots of shiny chrome bits
here are some more photos
Engine bay, havnt had to do much under here yet, just new oil cap and filter, new air filter and painted the airbox, flushed radiator, added extractors and replaced a gearbox mount. Thanks Nath76LA, a new carby setup was next on my to do list and twin solexs sounds like a good choice for me

As for a new cam, does anyone know a good place in adelaide who will source and install? Im looking for quality over pricing and i want someone reliable and knowledgeable who will know what is best suited for my engine.
Cheers A112H, Il start searching ebay and local wreckers for a drivers seat. New carpet is on its way, im currently looking for a smaller steering wheel and when i get back from canberra in 2 weeks il have a look around for a hideaway stereo system, or maybe mount a standard headunit in the glovebox as ive seen on here. As for the dash, yeah does anyone know a joint that will do a good job? I was thinking about getting my taillights redetailed too, and the vinyl roof rewrap, does anyone know places in SA that would do all or any of these things?
I want to get chrome exterior mounted gauges for her, or possibly dash mounted. I was thinking about replacing the clock with a tacho or trying to fit one neatly in that little air vent, but id rather keep it all oridgey-didginal there. Not sure how i feel about the woodgrain display as is at this point... might have to replace it with a nice bit of thin stainless or something, either that or find a wheel and gearknob with similar woodgrain and roll with it
Definately want GD quads and grille somewhere down the track

Im considering moving the mirrors down the fender, but il wait till i strip it so i can mock them up and see if i dig em down the front.
One more question, the plastics covering the rear pillars above the parcel shelf are cracked as shit, are they another item that is going to be very hard to find good originals?
I broke the aerial yesterday while washing her... i dont think il ever forgive myself
thanks again guys
