With all the people that have being looking for 2 seater of recent I can't see this lasting the weekend.Unless it turns out to be a HOS and it is just the photos that look good. Cheers

Hi Shire Steel Supplies in Kirrawee have exactly that and it usually a great assortment of shapes and thicknesses. They do charge for it, but the charge is bugger all. http://www.shiresteel.com.au

Plenty of fun to had in getting the most at any car (or bike) it is not always about absolute speed.

I would be worried about is hiding under the fibreglass and bog.

That car needs bigger wheels and tyres.

Hi Best I can do at night in the "Z Shed" Cheers PB

Looks good, I have a repo in the bus.

Hi Gav Very nice, can I assume it is an original ? Cheers PB

Throw some binocculars in the car then you can have a closer look for farm finds.

I like the look of that crimping tool - will be getting one for the toolbox

Cool, care to post a photo ?People are starting to tale a greater interest in these original alloys. Cheers PB

Hey Rudi I had been wondering how you were going with the car. A new double garage, awesome, you won't know what to do with all that space. Yes fill it with Z parts. Council redtape is an absolute PIA, I am about to start that journey myself. Good luck wth the build. Cheers PB

Really hard to tell from photos, but aside from the bonnet it doesn't look to have to much rust. That hatch looks particulary good.

Hi Chris, Amazing that is not just a pile of rust after sitting outside ? What sort of plans to you have in mind ? Cheers PB

interesting indeed and would not be allowed in Aus I was involved in an event a few years back that included road cars, race cars, drift cars & racing trucks. Whenever the trucks came out, all cars had to be off the track. Was a fun day, managed to get some hot laps in drift cars (AE86) and a Kenworth (W900) race truck. The trucks are amazing

Hi, Those stripes look very similar to the ones on Gav's 72 model, were they are a dealer thing at the time. Cheers PB

Hi Mate Cheap EBAY tools are just that - CHEAP, they may work for a little while. I have two crimping tools. A cheap set, https://www.jaycar.com.au/5-way-crimping-tool/p/TH1828 But these are the ones I use most of the time. https://www.jaycar.com.au/heavy-duty-ratchet-crimping-tool-for-insulated-terminals/p/TH1829 For stripping wires I have found this tool simple and reliable. https://www.jaycar.com.au/pocket-wire-stripper/p/TH1817 For cutting I just use a quality set of side cutters. Spend a little extra and buy good quality tools whenever you can afford them - they will last you so much longer and be better value in the long run Cheers PB

Hi Peter Congratulations, they are a fantastic car, we had a customer at the servo who had one back in the early 90's. Have really liked them ever since. Good luck with the project. Cheers PB

Doesn't like much like the Mt. Isa I remember - but it may have changed in the last 20 years

Hi Matt Looks pretty good in those photos. Stored 200ks from home - that will make it a challenge. Shed time is hard enough to find when the shed is your backyard. Cheers PB

Awesome sounds, but whats the go with the tourist coaches ?

Timely that you bump this up. Just re registered the bus and the wipers well, they leave a lot to be desired.

Welcome Getting her running first is logical first step - and mechanically these are rather simple cars. Is there much work required to get it roadworthy ? Cheers PB PS : a few photos would be nice

Well said, but I suspect we have heard the last Jen.

After looking at the photos I would say Gav is around the money, probably a little generous.
