G.I.jonas Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Was just impressed by the factory look of this swap,pretty much the official standard for me,the rest of the car...eh ok lol. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.britishv8.org/Triumph/KenHiebert/KenHiebert-C.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.britishv8.org/Triumph/KenHiebert.htm&h=450&w=600&sz=48&hl=en&start=2&um=1&tbnid=v4iat_1DrQ50cM:&tbnh=101&tbnw=135&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dlt1%2Bengine%2Bcovers%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strotter Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Man, that's some gorgeous work. Tight fit, too. Makes me want to go out and clean up my work ... well, as soon as it gets a little warmer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I like it! Looks like he did a great job on the conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschiltz Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 The engine looks superb, but some he cut some corners on other parts of the car. The first one I noticed it the rough, open cut in the hood where he had to notch it to fit over the upper rad support. Also, looking at the suspension, he painted the struts but left the cracked up rubber bushings? Edit: I just re-read that and I really wasn't trying to sound nit picky. His work sure surpasses any of mine! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work sure surpasses any of mine! lol No i definately agree,there are some problems with the rest of the car that dont seem consistant with the engine compartment.Maybe someone did the swap for him and then he went around and tinkered with thte rest of the car?

Evan Purple240zt Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I didnt notice, but how old is the swap? Maybe its just from actually driving it. Hell, there is dirty water on everything! lol. Seriously cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously cool though. You mean people actually drive their project cars? Actually I didn't even think about that. It could explain some of it, but on the whole the car's body, etc. looks less finished than the engine bay. Who knows, maybe that's next on his list?
