new guy from the UK

[stinkwheel]

Hi folks,

Let me introduce myself, Im Matt from the UK. Ive owned a few american cars before, notably........... '78 camaro with a 403 BB, '85 Camaro 305 and a '79 Oldsmobile Delta 88 with the 301. Ive always lusted after Mopars (mainly Dodge's since my dad managed to get a ride up the quarter mile in a 70 Charger way back when i was a youngster. Ive just done a deal to swap an old '78 UK ford cortina wagon for this '74 Coronet Wagon. (hopefully pic attached) Its a 318 car and was originally sold as a Coffin carrier with a totally flat rear load area cover ( I dont think it was a hearse, just used for picking up from the morgue and stuff im told - morbid huh!)

Its gonna need a lot of work but im an experienced welder and spanner monkey so sooner or later it will be finished hopefully

Welcome! Hosted some Brits from the Essex area a while back who had never been in an American muscle car. Took them for a ride in my 440 six pack four speed. I found an empty road, told them to hang on, and floored it. They later said it was one of the high points of their week in America!
