yeah, same thing happened to me. $20 worth of petrol in the tank $4 on the ground.
And you get dizzy too...
I just had to get another one from a wrecker.
Couldn't find them anywhere else.
If you couldn't do that I guess you could make one out of straight lengths of tube and angled metal corners maybe?

I'm not 100% sure but if you check it out with RTA I think that you might find that chroming the wipers and such will be legal for your car because it has chrome bits on it originally.
I think they only have a problem with it if you have a car that didn't have any chrome on it to begin with.
I have heard that some hotrods and older cars can have chromed bug catchers and cups on the guages on the bonnet because of this loophole in the law.
Still, not 100% sure so try and find out...

I love that you can open the bonnet and looka t it and there is an engine, a battery a radiator and a carby.
If something is wrong it is normally one of these things.
People are always astounded at how little there is in the engine bay.
Good for people like me who get confused by anti pollution and efi and miles and miles of cables.

Thankyou.

Hello,
I used 195/50 R15 tyres on them. They scrubbed quite hard without any guard madification.
Right at the bottom front of the guard where it attaches to the front apron bit.
Got a hammer and belted it out so that the guard went straight and continued on the line that it was on and didn't curl back in like it does normally.
I also then lipped and rolled the guards a little bit too.
Used a base ball bat
I haev never done those things before. But I had a spare set of guards that I am going to use when I repaint the car so I thought I would give it a go.
And if I can do it then so can anyone.
Just need a little bit of touch up paint on the edges of the guard where it was rolled.



In this picture here it still has the (I think) 195/60 15 rubber on it which I got changed.

If I haven't explained this correctly. (Which I probably haven't) then jsut tell me and I will try and explain it better..

That looks to be a 1200 to me.
That woudl be the 2 door 1200 everyone is talking about?

Why not just post the pic in the photo section here?

My mum used to haeva 4 door wagon about 8 years ago. She sold it with a new 1400 engine and 12 months rego for $900!
Silly woman.
Anyway I have seena few other 4 doors around. Never a two door though.
I am in Australia. Might be a different story in other parts of the world...

what is a drag-link?

So it is like a parking light then? It jsut comes on with the lights and doesn't blink or anything?

Hello,
I just noticed that american 1200 have reflectors or lights on the back quarter panel of their cars.
Just wondering what it is and why it is different to Australia. Was it a law thing? Or just a different area styling thing?
