Purchased from the US BB model ,blown away by how rust free it is and the owner has a level of OCD that is rarely seen these days he is also a tool and die maker and builds the most amazing parts I have ever seen .
This car came to him with 112k miles and the motor was toast,he just looked @ a spare motor that he had which had a Eaton 45 blower on it and intercooler ,full EFI and most of the parts he made himself to a very high standard ,engineering like I have never seen before TBO.
A rebuild 411 WO case and stock bore and spec with carb cam ,running 7.5 psi boost .
Will post more when I hear more, it has completed a tuning test and first road test and really up to expectations.
Will update further ,cheers .

Rest of the car received a tidy up but no rust repairs needed , a few worn out mechanical components rebuilt or replaced , owner mentioned the original paint is requiring some attention ...looks pretty darn good to me .
Couple of things I noticed prove that the mileage isn't correct as purchased ,owner believes what shows on the speedo is the total so he is not aware how the speedo reads mileage when cllocked over ,currently showing 12K ,wear indicated 112k miles.
IMO this isn't a big deal as the current condition is so good .
