So I found this pretty clean and I've been kicking the idea to do a conversion to a 6 or just get this running as is with a better motor. This is a '72 with 1.7L motor, found this in San Diego a few months ago and seems to have a bad cylinder, according to the previous owner. Finally got around to getting the brakes done and at the time I was just going to get it running. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
Since I've had plenty of time to think about this car, I was wondering if a 6 conversion might be something to consider. My question for all those out there that have done a conversion... how much of a pain is it to do one and are parts readily available to finish a 6 conversion? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Just like to get some feedback from all those out there that have gone down the path to the darkside. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Thanks in advance, Eddie  |

As mentioned before, this is a clean body car in excellent shape, Andy went with me on the road trip to fetch this car and he gave me the thumbs up to buy... I have soft spot for yellow cars...
Been learning a ton from this site and everyone on here giving advice, thanks for that in advance. I think this will be a great car for a conversion, can anyone point me in the direction to find metal GT fenders? Anyone have a set they're thinking of selling? Where is a good source for the motor mounts I'll need for the conversion, I'm sure there is a long list of parts I'll need to gather. Thanks Eddie |
