Cool mate I'll be scrapping my manual column setup so if you need any shit like linkages or whatever give us a yell before they go in the bin

[mr5000]

at the moment almost ready to scrap or torch the stato think its done the head gasket again

So he is still being a dick about the pick-up date?

I reckon you should chase down a prem front before you paint it! Would add that extra bit too it!

[mr5000]

dunno if ill bother picked up the car last night and it cooked about 15 mins from emmas on the hume

[MRLXSS]

Oh, sounds like fun! You seem to like your cars running hot don't you!

[mr5000]

[hawk]

yeah looks like a pretty easy project hopefully it comes along quickly for u
good luck

[mr5000]

not sure on paint colour could go gunmetal to match torry or a dark metalic blue or just a white or black not sure if any one got any sggestions im all ears

[hawk]

i think red would look good on it or an orangey red lol

[mr5000]

i thought bout orange to would suit the business to being specilising in woodheaters i wanna stick gts flutes in to but part of me says no save the money the other part says do it will lookgrouse

[76lxhatch]

Putting the weld-in flute panels in is surprisingly easy, and it does look grouse

^ ^ ^ ^ ^Congenital twins joined at the brain?

Ute Salisbury diffs are hard to find but you buy the weld on brackets on ebay to convert a sedan one.

[mr5000]

arent one tonner and pv and station wagons the same

[MRLXSS]

Don't go black! They get bloody hot, a pain to keep clean and you see every little imperfection! (Remember my old HQ)


White or orange would be good. As you said orange would suit your business.

If you weld in flutes, you have to get a twin headlight front!

[mr5000]

haha if any one had one super megacheap then maybe but if not this one will do
