Hello everyone, new here...hoping to have a good experience! Anyway, here's my car, a 71 Valiant....bought October 2016, and first car I'd ever owned. As for why I bought it? Weeeelll...

Anyway, here's a few pics to start off.

Very nice car. I like the early 70's Valiants.

I've come to like them too, for reasons linked in first post.

Anyway, here she is sneaking into work, when I put disc brakes on the front back in January. (I made....severe mistakes when I tried changing the pads on the front drums. Oh well, an excuse to add the discs.)

The car also has factory AC, but a previous owner seems to have removed all the engine bay components....even the valve that shuts off hot water! The vacuum reservoir remains though, so the heat works.

Granted, the factory-form car probably made like 80hp gross with that old AC running...

Exhaust system is failing, so decided to do the Dutra system. Just got the manifolds put on, and decided to sand blast and paint the intake while I was at it. Next week I'll get a shop to finish the pipes and such...
