Looking good enough! 😁 So if you don't know, be careful welding galvanized. Gring it off on the edges where you weld it on both sides, and at a welding store you can get a mask that guards against it.
Thanks lummox, im aware of the dangers of galv poisoning, and experienced plenty of dizzy spells in the past over it! I just ground off the coating at the edges to make a healthy weld, otherwise it lets off this weird white fluff and toxic smoke, its nasty shit! Thanks for watching
1986 my 1st car was a P76 targa florio ,my dad surprised me with it as i just got my licence ,i hated it and being a manual i found it hard to drive ,i did my test in a automatic so when he rollled up in the Leyland i pretended to love it as i didnt want to upset him but i struggled with the clutch and bunny hopped when i took off ,after a couple weeks i traded it in on a HQ Holden 6 cylinder sedan with an auto transmission
Thats a shame because of how much more a Targa wouldve offered compared to a HQ in my opinion. But if you got along better with a HQ, then thats the car thats better for you. Thanks for watching
i disagree, cosmetics aside the car is proven in numerous rally stages, the suspension was advanced yet simple, the rack and pinion steering setup on the cutting edge, the v8 engine small light and efficient, and the interior quality on par with its contemporaries. My only gripe is fittings and fasteners being fragile from age which wouldnt of been a problem when the car was new. They did the absolute best in its category with the meagre amount of money given to the project to develop a ground up new large car to take on the big three in the tiny Australian market. If anything, the biggest downfall was its controversial appearance which isnt even that out of place for the mid 1970s but would have benefitted from refinement and input from focus groups to help balance out the wedge/coke bottle combination styling. But even then when you compared it to the Austin Allegro or Princess by Leyland UK at the time, the wedge shape was cohesive with their other offerings and so in my opinion contributed to its brands design language.

Damn shame the Targa mags were a no go. The slotters will look good.

I think the designers of Leyland P76 should have a long hard look at themselves. 8
