This should be a sticky thread for all those people who come (and eventually go) and wonder about putting in V8s or something totally radical and who never end up finishing the project.
Enjoy it for what it is folks!

Hi, Super,
Looks great. Black is one of the best possible colors for a Bradley -- GT or GTII.
Enjoy it, and everyone else, please pay attention to the simple advice that the other Jeff (jspbtown) gave you.
Drive it. Come to understand it. Then decide what it really needs (if anything) after you've figured out exactly what you have.
Warmest...

I notice you have a convertable top too. How do you fasten it from the inside. Mine has a zipper to reach out of it.

1978 Pan....1971 Motor 1600.... The Ms and I are having a blast. Best comment has been: "Is it like a Ferrari?" My response: "Sure..It has 4 wheels and a steering wheel..Like a Ferrari!" , I have question for you. I noticed in your pictures that you have the same 15" turbine western wheel rims that I have in storage awaiting to be installed. What type of 5 lugs configuration these rims do have?. I'm still with the old fashion VW small 4. Are the front tires rubbing the inner fenders?, are you using wheel adapters or you did a complete drums change over? Horacio |

That is a great looking car. I'm learning just how much work it takes to get one finished.

How good of a seal do you have between the Pop Riveted strip and the car? Leak in the rain at highway speeds?

Im totally digging those doors. Any idea what kind of materials for the black fabric and the clear window piece? Im guessing they are the same as those used in convertible tops?

Guess I forgot how to attach an picture. I like what you have done for doors. I have snaps and it is a hassle to get them snapped quickly, (like when it is raining), but is nice to roll them up and store in the back in the sun. Attachments:

No, I unzip the side zipper and reach out and snap it down. The Passenger side is done before getting in the car.
