Awesome video man, very well produced!
I loved the first two stop-motion sequences timed to co-incide with the drum fills

Wow, just read this thread, I want to do a trip like that, if only I had the time and money. Perhaps without all the mechanical issues though.

Great job..not many would be able to do what you have done..the trip, working your way out of mechanical problems in harsh countryside..roadside repairs....and never gave up...I take my hate off to you both..well done!!!

at 120 and above the car felt very firm on the road, i'm only running a standard wagon EFI setup. 150 was all she had in her, plus we were watching the temp guage...

Thanks everyone for all your feedback. The end result is the car now runs a carbie engine that i had spare with an MY radiator. I've removed the AC condensor as this was a little clagged up and was blocking air flow to the radiator - prob my problem the whole time.

I'm yet to pull down the MPFI to find out what exactly is wrong with it - hopefully just a set of head gaskets...

I'm hoping to do another trip like this in the next 12 - 18 months - I love road trippin!

Cheers
