Got this back today.
This from Mentiplay Leyland:
"Completed and delivered to Dave Bryan his multi-coloured Super this afternoon.
This car was a massive undertaking for us, as it was a completely gutted shell when it was delivered to Mentiplay Leyland last year.
It is now a V8 4 speed with power steering and air conditioning, and even though it looks a touch ugly, the car is mechanically A1."

Plans???
-
You've got enough of them Dave...you could give this one the 2dr convertible conversion :goodjob2:
-
Either a repaint in "Am Eye Blue" (as it has a Casino Blue interior), or paint it white and build a replica of a 1974 RTA (Road Traffic Authority) pursuit car complete with blue lights, siren, etc.

Any time I hear the words "Massive Undertaking" I think massive price :Shocked:

It's OK beerman. It's Dave's money. :P

Nice... :whistler:

:lol: Yes.

Nice... :whistler:
Not my style at all - I like my cars in one colour :P
Looks like a lot of hard work will be needed.
-
A work in progress. :)
-
Don't listen to what the others are saying, Dave. To me it looks like a piece of sh...... art, waiting to be completed.
No really, I do like it!!
:goodjob:

As with people, it's what's under the skin that counts. :)

No its a fine example, one owner with books, oh the books just disintegrated....
I remember when most cars getting around Logan looked like that, the ones that hadn't been err borrowed from their owners....
Next step, some Woodridge gloss....

The best examples are applied by can in the garage of a house your about to be kicked out of....

I drove it this afternoon.
It was actually the first time I've ever driven a manual P76. All my others are autos.
What a difference. Heaps of grunt in every gear. The ratios chosen by Leyland were spot on for the 4.4 litre V8.
A whole new dynamic and very enjoyable. :D
I'm looking forward to slowly but surely making improvements to driveability, cosmetics, etc.
-
You too can give your "P" a finish befitting such a classic, Dave... :rofl:

On the cosmetics, the front fender matches the front door on the passengers side, wrecks the whole effect :whistler:
I'm sure over time you will enjoy bringing her back to her former glory. Was this the one that had tree stumps for wheels a while back?

No. that's a different one. That one is in the garage. :)
The driver's door off the multi-coloured car is wanted by someone else within the club who has the rest of the car that the door belongs to so he can have that and I'll get a replacement, but I don't know what colour. :lol:
I bought a new imitation wood kit for the interior today so the slow process of improvement has begun. :D
-
Fake wood.....Classy :cool:
I'm guessing you haven't told the 'massive undertaking' people about the other small project you have for them :whistler:
-
If it's been over the pits and passed,just give it coat of clear-coat and use it as a daily driver :goodjob2:

I'll probably be leaving it as is for now, Rick. The clear coat idea is a good one. :goodjob2:
It hasn't been over the pits yet but only needs a few minor things done now before it does.
I'm going to licence it on concessional (as it's over twenty five years old) because I can't afford to put them all on full licence.
-
Put on some sponsor decals, a bullbar and the number 66, job done.....

Where did you get that? :undecided:
Do you know who that is in the pic?
-
Google images :D
I don't really know who it is, it was on a web page from the South Australian P76 owners club on how to make a p76 wagon.

And here was me thinking I was the only one with a multi coloured P. :rofl:
