Thougt i'd just put an update on. (if a few weeks late) well ive manged to get all the history of the old girls show days back together and theres so many people to thank, suffice to say you know who you are thank you. Well twenty five+ years on and we attended the 'Independance Day Show' at Menwith Hill in North Yorks and took best paint and a top 10. How chuffed was I, it says something about Mick Cooke (original builder) and his workmanship, untouched all that time and still takes a trophy, that was a moment in time for me.
So i thought id share a few pics with you guys.....

Image

Image

Trophies from Uk back to 1974, finland,Denmark, France, Etc Etc, i was shocked to find just how far the car had travelled in the day.

Just to continue..
Lurking at the bottom of the box with all the dusty trophies in we found this that goes with them.....
Image

Image

a nice touch if a little gramatically lacking. In the back window is a sticker from the 1977 Rod & Custom show at Belle View Manchester, well now i've a trophy to go with that sticker too.....

Image

Image

Image

And never realised it, but bought this book about 20 years ago in my early 20s, little did I know back then when it was just a dream......

Image

Anyhow thought i'd share them (or bore you) with how much we dug up for the car's past. Thanks to all who helped and thanks to all on here for advice, especially Evilzee, Thanks Nige, i'm a virgin with Camaro's but cant see me selling this any time soon. Thanks all.
Russ.

Seeing this car takes me back to my teen years when I was getting into the hot rod and custom car scene. Well done Russ on preserving a piece of UK rodding history.

What about the others though, Streetfighter, Black Magic, etc. what became of them ?

yeah, Streetfighter is no more, Blackmagic became Madness & Money Hungry is still owned by a very good friend of mine & a member on here, Mick the Fish (aka Money Hungry on here).

Here's a link to Black Magic
