The plan is for dad and I to go down with a trailer sometime soon, but because I dont know what there is I dont know if it will fit on a trailer! Thanks for the offer. What is happening at wakefield?

Ian

Yeah, I was looking through the list and I figured that all the stuff that I would like to get would end up costing what I paid for the lot anyway... so I rang up and made an offer.

But your not going to believe what I have done.... I didnt make a list of it, and he has canceled the add, so now I dont know what I have! From memory it is a couple of a10's (I think a couple of buggys might be in order ), a gearbox (I will now have 3), A spare bonnet, 3 doors, locking mechanisms, lots of starter motors, a windscreen, spare bumpers and grilles, a front end??? (im not sure if that means actual suspension steering etc or the body work), a horn, 120y discs, and I forget the rest.

It should be interesting to see what I now own. All the spare stuff shall be put up here.

Ian

Hey guys,

I bought all this stuff. I will need quite alot of it, but if there is anything you are after let me know.

Ian

I think we should hire one of those Antinoffs (or whatever those huge Russian aeroplanes are called) and fill it up with all our dattos and head over there for a while

and I love this drop tank

This is what I am thinking: one of these:




it costs about 500 bucks

with a holden 308 and 3spd in the back. No rear suspension, the holden diff welded straight to some mounts to the chassis. Also no drive shaft, the gearbox straight to the diff. I reckon you could do it for about a grand.

EDIT: I almost forgot, you would have to get rid of the rear brakes and exhaust pipes... im thinking twin stacks through the roof

not anymore

I was just mucking around in photoshop and discovered that if you made a picture of your car negative it becomes really easy to pick up how straight it is. You can easily pick up panel warping and rust.

For example, in this picture of my car, it is easy to pick up the bog job in the guard and the slight warp in the doors.







I hope its of help

How is this for a suggestion? Someone should fly over to Adelaide and buy the car with a mate. Have a nice 2 week holiday driving it back to Sydney and sell it to whoever wants to buy it here for an extra $400 to cover air fares. You get to be the proud owner of a sweet car for a few weeks and have a very cheap holiday. If I had my P's thats what I would do.

good luck

Have a look here. It explains it all. Have you considered an a14 or a15? It will make quite a difference and will be alot cheaper (you can get a deacent one for around $350). Also, you cant run a draw through systen and an intercooler because it is like having a big b o m b hanging off the front of your car.

edit: it dosnt let me write b o m b
