Hey guys,

Currently I have an A12 in the 1974 ute runs perfectly, 100% stock to my knowledge.
I'm building my A14 ground up (rebore new pistons etc) for the turbo build. Just wondering if I can bolt the carb off the A12 onto the new A14 for a thousand or so kms of Naturally aspirated easy running-in type driving.

Will that damage the A14?

any ideas for the same thing in Perth?

lots of packaging = good thing!

ah ok, well I cant weld so I was only looking into replacing panels that are bolt off bolt on. eg
doors
bonnet
tailgate
maybe quarters

My reasons arent so much mine having rust but more not worth the time straightening/fixing dents etc if you can replace whole panel for ~$100

I'm getting a kit off Ernie (bige) soon, very helpful and nice guy to deal with

Seriously if you are interested/considering turbo-ing your A series this is an awesome opportunity.
I did a hunt around before Chris decided to do this run and you cant buy these manifolds anywhere. It has to be custom made.
I have also researched prices to get them custom made, Chris's prices are also very reasonable

Awesome cheers mate

Cool thanks
Both companies seem good to deal with and their prices are fine.
My concern is purely the mods required to fit
Since I intend to DIY and im an amateur I want bolt off bolt on only. Cutting and welding is a deal breaker, if thats required id be better of fixing the original panels

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of ordering some new panels and just wondering if anyone has used either All Muscle Cars or Old Skool Parts and Panels

http://oldskoolpartsandpanels.com.au/
vs
http://www.allmusclecarparts.com.au/

If so what was the experience like regarding the fitting?

Basically want to use the company whos panels require the minimum re-work...

thanks

That sounds awesome D
No chance of anything like that in Perth
From my investigations the Panel beaters and painters want $90 hour cash

Ok been awhile but I have started rebuilding the A14 ready for turbo
