1973 Leyland P76 DELUXE

History

Bought it from a wrecker in 2014, It used to be a race car for about 8 years.
It Had more hits than Elvis, Totally stripped back to bear shell, Removed all the rust and dents after having it Garnet blasted, Then put on rotisserie.
Spend every weekend and week night for 18 months restoring it back to health.
I only had 15 months to get it going for a National Club event in Adelaide.
And yes made it there and back without a hitch.
It now drives like a new car, I love it.
I called the car the Nemesis, As it's my Nemesis (my weakness) As i had a P76 30 years ago, And wanted to build a new one.
