Good starter project
Alittle bit of wierd placement of stuff in that engine bay though

I wouldn't mind an old wagon myself one day

308/t700/9inch limo,on lpg,twin light front,black hz kingy grill,big fat 14/15 x8's up front 14/15's x 10 with 265's on the arse,fluted guards ,gts dash and wheel and black interior,4 wheel discs,a/c p/s p/w p/tw and lowered all round with air shocks in the back.and as for a colour.i saw one in that lina mint or mint julep with blackouts it looked the goods.
good to see a young bloke interested they are awesome things.

hf on the plate,big bore single must be one of the harry firth specials the other give away is the position of the charcoal canister and the washer bottle or is that the recovery bottle this was done to move the weight back and improve handling. :wtf: :P

Funny thing is, is that a fair bit of $$$ has been spent on this old gurl over the years

BUT

The fuel/vac/return/cannister lines all were original with 60 gazillion cracks

Replaced them all Sunday, still have to do the little buggers on the fuel tank though.

sigh....

You must be doing it wrong !

Fish oil from Supercheap, then Garden pump/sprayer with peanut oil, then Wattyls "Tectyl" in a .99c hand sprayer

Hard as hell to spray but gets the job done. What the hell are you doing to get so dirty ?

profenicially...lol
10 hours of spraying/sandblasting crappy 4wd's and you tend to get some overspray on yourself
and who told you my tricks of the trade? :)

Ok...

With the points set @ 12 thou' the condensor & coil build a max charge

Ergo the wider 40 thou' gap on the plugs for a bigger spark

Timing is subjective between 10 - 14 degs advance - So 12's the go

Son is just about to "test" Das tune - Will report back shortly

Now 9:34pm in Brissy :)
