already done an original FJ so this ones gunna be a little wild, have a pontiac 421 to put in it (will probably be blown) so far have widened the quarterpanels and opened the wheel arches so that the large rear tyres will fit.

Wow that's looking wild already. Is this the Cavalier model? Looks like a lot of cleaning to do on the body. Good luck with the project.

You certainly have your work cut out for you. What chassis will you be running underneath this beast????

this is definately not the cavalier kit i got two of these about 10 years ago the bloke who sold them didnt know anything about them, i have a 57 chev glue bomb i got for $1 so its providing the chassis (need to be cut and shut a bit) and also going to fit the dash from the 57
