Here's something else to do for all of us with too much time on our hands .

First thing I ever bought for a car was extractors for my first ever project a 1000 wagon way back when I was 15 .

Of course I had to have the best and the best I could find were GENIE ,came up from Sydney and cost me $420.00 delivered and this was back in 1990 but at least I got a free keyring !!!

Lumpy er cam. For my current project. Second hand off the net, $50 bucks, and when the car is reassembled I'll compare the different. Should have it running, but be lookin ruff at the end of this weekend!!

first for my 1200, was a manual gearbox (4spd) from a wrecker

then i landed on a sweet deal, getting a worked a12 (incl webbers and extractors, 5 speed and some other rally bits for $1500)

The first thing I bought was a CA18DE with Stumpy SKyline box But that was always the plan.

Clutches and diffs for the family 1200 wagon don't count.

lime green series 1 mazda 808 with a black vinyl roof and a shot engine for $400.

would have been a good car had i rebuilt the engine, but i raped it for parts for my next car, the RX2.

two bottom ball joints for my ute. It was self steering on bad roads... rather scary. After that it handled like a go-kart, just like it should!

got some twin su's off a 4.2 litre jag for the right price and rejetted them and made a manifold for my 180b.

It was for a commodore but hey I had a VN wagon, LSD and I was on my P's. The first things I bought were Tyres, and tyres again about three weeks later. So on and so forth this viscous cycle continued until I had to buy and new engine!

A rocker cover gasket for a slant six powered AP5 valiant with push button auto.

I think it was plugs,points,oil/filter etc for my 1st car........and it was a 1200!!!!
