Yeah I dunno about the rego either

I told the chick on the phone I wanted to check if it was stolen or written off ( using ALJ04637B tag)

Checked out fine (but their records only go back to 2008)

Then I asked how I can get it registered as it only has the one plate and no chassis number and she said the car can't be registered without a chassis number even with the plates not being stolen.
I was sure it would be able to get registered as well.......

I'm going to start a new topic about registration. Thanks for the help guys

So does it have the V8 steering mods as well?

I couldnt care less about what it was and I dont think it changes its value at all.

If its straight, essentially rust free and ready for a v8 to go back into it I reckon its a bargain.

You will find a way to rego it, there always is.

well that still dont let me prove the point that its a 73 shell.

John, if he buys the LJ then hopefully more pics will be forthcoming and we'll get the chance to find a definitive answer.

 

Cheers

Dave.

The steering column looks to be in it's original position through the firewall. Also the top of the transmission tunnel above the gearbox looks to have been replaced. Maybe most of the V8 conversion mods have been undone?

I know to johnny but not telling

Dave were not sure if we're going to buy it anymore. We've been put off about the rego side of the car... And if its been cut and shut it just sounds dodgy. He's a pretty good bloke and he wants it to go to a good home he's firm on 8k too so I don't know if its worth it......

In my opinion it to much $$$ for car with no chassis number or vin sorry let it go at that price

[Torana_Boy]

Still think its worth it? I don't know if I'd be able to take the chassis kit out there's a lot of holes drilled.... But we didn't plan on using the 9" so could sell that.
The bloke said the chassis was checks before it was painted. Maybe ill check it out myself an take those photos for you John.

[Torana_Boy]

you can fill holes with welder mate, and yes the car is worth buying, it looks ok to me but sometime pics do tell lies, selling the 9in will save you more money as well.

^duh I should've known that haha.

Yeah it's in good nick there's a couple of chips in the paint from storage (tape left on paint for too long) but the cars never been outside since it was stripped and painted.
Looks like we're going to buy it. Worst case we'll stamp the chassis no back on but buy the sounds of it service tas/police should be able to help.
It comes with a stock diff so we're going to sell the 9" it's drum brake and unsure of the ratio. It also comes with a locka for it. Any idea roughly what it's worth without knowing the ratio? Hopefully it's in good condition....
Ill get the photos. Hopefully this doesn't bite us in the bum. If its had new front rails welded on is that bad?

John do you have a number I can contact you on when I go have a look tonight? (If you dot mind that is)
