New Guy from Sydney Australia

Hey guys
Love the site. Its full of great information and for someone like myself with very little knowledge in this area it will come in mighty handy given the project I am undertaking.

I am currently (with the help of some good mates who do know what they're doing) restoring a 1968 Barracuda.

The car was purchased from a guy in California and we shipped it over to Australia to enjoy around 18 months ago. Have been driving it around (getting used to the steering wheel on the other side) but took it off the road about 2 months ago to undertake a full resto.

So we're looking at replacing the tired 318 with a 426ci Hemi.
Installing a tru trac serpintine system, mini tubing, adding disc brakes, alterkation system etc. Inside will be original and we are keeping with the old school look and adding some Torque Thrust Ds.. Also keeping it left hand drive.

Its going to be a big job but I'm loving every weekend, watching stuff happening and learning along the way.

I'm sure you will see posts from me in the future.

Oh, you can check on pics of the restoration through the car club I'm in.
