Hi there all, my name is Jan, I life and work in Pretoria/Centurion enviro. Since my school days back in the 70’s I dreamed of one day owning a mighty V8. I bought a 1972 Chev Constantia V8 last year and immediately got the engine going and rebuilt the mechanics including: drive train, suspension, brakes etc. Earlier this year I decided to do a full overhaul. My Chevy once finished, will be royal blue, powered by a 350 V8 with some Edelbrock parts and a Turbo 350 transmission.
I have already learned so much from the posted topics on the forum and looking forward to a wealth of knowledge and info out there.

Welcome Jan, not very much into Chevy's, but those Constantia's were one of the really nice cars built by Chev. Ask for help if you struggle to download pics. Start by resizing the pics you want to use to less than 200kb, after that it's a breaze, just select and then add the picture. Then remember to click on submit and wait to see what your post looks like.
