    Default '81 AE70 coupe from NZ

    Hi all, Im new to these forums. My names Frank and I live in Christchurch, New Zealand.
    I bought this car as a rolling body around 3years ago, and have done most of the work in the past 12mnths. I bought it with a blown 3au motor, k40 gearbox, s series drum rear, cut springs, etc. Since then i have fitted a 4AGZE supercharged engine from an AE92, and mostly AE86 running gear. I have just passed lvv certification (nz equivalent of blue modification plate) so i can legally drive it on the road. I'm not sure what my plans for this car are yet, but for now im just enjoying driving it.
    I haven't done a build thread on my car, but ill update my progress as i go, from here on in.
    This car will always be a work in progress....
