Let us know how you get on with the Exedy clutch, I had a Paddle clutch in my old classic and I hated it, but heard the Exedy organic clutches are really easier to use in everyday driving.

Oh dear, bloody Youths again!
It is not a shed (though drove like one)
It is not a wedding car (it was a style statement)
It was:
1937 Y Type Ford
Chopped roof by 2.5'' with Volvo estate roof welded in...
Custom box chassis
Capri 3 litre V6 and 3 speed auto
Vauxhall front suspension
Jaguar S type rear suspension
Stacks more. Painted in a one car garage while I lived with my Mum (ahhh...) before I married.
Did absolutly everything on the car myself including how to weld.
Was on the Custom Car Magazine stand at Aly Pally in the mid 70's
and:
Great fun when I was 23!

Yep!
We took the car down to London for the day for the cover shot and article.
In the studio there were 2 small rooms.. a changing room and a cafe type place.
We sat there telling the story of the car (this was the very early days of Street Rods) and then THEY appeared....clothed.
We all went into the cafe and chatted, admittedly distracted, but they were all made -up and looked just stunning to a young 20 something.
We went into the studio and 'glimpsed' the peeling-off and the first shot, then bundled out by the reporter
They were in there ages and ages, but we finished up with coffee again at the end of the day.
Great experience, and such a buzz when it appeared in Custom Car.
Magic days (through rosy glasses) but it was all so good.
Spent 16 years with Street Rods and drag racing before feeling too old for them and buying the 911 above in 1988 and the Sti in 2001.
sorry for the Old Bloke bit.
