Thanks Custaxie50 I rang straight away and the people at the workshop were able to give me his ph # so I rang but he is away till this weekend, so I shall ring him on monday and try my best to get him there for you. I just received the following photo from my brother Clive of his DJR Mustang at the sign writers, having just been painted the week before. I called in and had a look the day before and I have to say the car looks absolutely gorgeous. Its going to be a fantastic looking grid!

The car was build from a road car like yours, a trans am car as you know is not the same in any way at all only my view.

Think if you research custaxie50 you will find it was not a road car and actually a few bits done to it before it arrived over here.

hey be good to see you come up for the day, contact us if you do.

[Rod Grimwood]

yes your right about the escort, but the mercedes i had a feeling was a works rally car

Will contact you Rog, have a article on the build/history of the Merc some where (think it was in Australian Muscle Car) couple years back.

plodding along

[George Sheweiry]

Good on you Roger, it will be great to see your car run as I dont recall seeing it in the past. It would be great if we could get Alan Fergusons Marley sponsored Torana back as well. Anyone know where that car went. Apparently it was sold to Asia but was brought back here??

[George Sheweiry]

I don't recall Dick having a white Mustang?????

He sure did, it was when he first bought the car and he also had it black with JPS livery, now Mike Dias who is kindly going to run the Mustang I was forced to buy because of the slackers who were pulling out after saying they would run has painted it black and we are getting it signed up to the JPS scheme but the signwriters need some better shots, so please has anyone some good photos of the JPS car. These are the only 2 I could find on the net.

Well,bugger me. It was always green from my recollection apart from when croaky Crichton secured JPS sponsorship for the Welington and Pukekohe rounds of Nissan Mobil. Did Dick ever race it in white as I believe he only used it for two seasons prior to his Sierras arriving. A stop gap measure I think he called it.

[Jac Mac]

[color="#0000FF"]White car only practiced @ Bathurst 84, Johnson used XE for race, following year (85) mustang was green with Larry Perkins as co-driver. That is why frosty5 wont have seen it run in white.[/color]

[George Sheweiry]

Well done Jac mac, there arent many photos of it either. Have you finished the work on the T44 housing yet as I would like to buy 1 or maybe 2 for some projects, like a mk1V or G7-A replica and also for my Pantera Sports Sedan project as I had come to the conclusion back in 84 that the DG300 that I got with the rest of the Pederson/Radisich M18 bits that I bought off Kelvin Camerons widow wasn't going to be strong enough for an injected 366 in a car probably twice the weight of a F5000. Could I have your details please or could you send me them to George at mailto:?subject=&body=. Thanks.

[Jac Mac]

[color="#0000FF"]Patterns/Housings still require some work yet George, like you Ive got too many projects on the go at moment & as some of those belong to other folk Im trying to get them out of the way first before creating another headache. Dont worry, I have your details & will contact you when I have some good metal bits. . G7-A, I see one of those has just finished being rebuilt as a MKIV so in theory that means there is only one 'real' G7-A left.[/color]

Absolutely. Give my regards to Clive, met him during my time at A&G Price when he was endeavoring to sell me BOC products but unfortunately the boss had locked us into his competitor.

Dead right Jac Mac. I crewed for Robbie & John Bowe in the Volvo from 85 and Dick's car was definitely green. 84 was the last year of Group C so missed it by a year and that's what threw me about the white car. Cheers for that info.
