Try graeme.harlor (at) gmail.com.. They tend to take a while to reply but keep pestering.

If you consider selling the box separately shoot me a price. Thanks John

I never said to leave it out, just process of elimination. Why replace it if it's the radiator at fault..

Remove the thermostat and see if the problem still happens.. Things to consider... Air pocket? Even new radiators can be blocked? No gunk in the water?

Nice, really wanted to attend this but was busy unfortunately.

Owner giving it that authentic old school Armourall look.. Seems reasonably priced.

Those seats! lol

Hi Peter Have you contacted the seller yet? Just curious if you have a mobile number or know of their availability today and tomorrow, I work near by and maybe able to pop out to see it quickly if time permits. Thanks John

Very nice...

Car is lowered with aftermarket Springs and does not rub. Depends on what wheel offset you're going.

Thanks Gav and Enzo. Used the paypal link to pay for postage..

Not good at all.. No rush.

Happy to pay or make a donation of some sort for these..

Still interested Gav if possible.. Thanks

Be as sarcastic as you want, you still come back here to comment and read what others have said. No doubt you will have a a reason for this also.

Should be worth 20k as is, 30k+ cleaned up

To be honest, with something priced well these days you need to inspect within 24hrs and expect to pay a deposit almost instantly.

Thanks for the info guys. I agree and ended up getting gas for mild steel to begin with. I have done some mig welding so I'm not a total novice but still plenty of room for improvement. Also aluminium would of needed a spool gun so it can wait.. I'll definitely hut up some places for scrap metal, kirrawee isn't far from me thanks Pb..

Did some research this morning.. Cheapest Argon deals I could find were either $339 for the D bottle and gas or BOC $0.50/day hire + $123 for the D size gas refill. I think rental may be a better option if I plan to use all the gas within 6 months.. Price for E size also might be worth while at $136 for double the gas.. Also waiting to hear from Supagas with prices. Leaning towards Argon because I have some alloy piping I want to join and I'll be creating some oil container and battery boxes in the future.

My intention is to weld mild Steel and some aluminium and from what I'm reading these metals use different gas. What would be the most affordable way to get gas for minimal use?

They don't look that bad...

Thought I would revive this thread to give beginners a heads up if they are interested in buying a Mig, I purchased a Lincoln 180c from Adelaide tools for $1099 shipped free to Sydney and they provide you with bonus gloves, work jacket and Electric mask all Lincoln branded.. Value of the extras is about $200 so if you're starting off like I am it's a great deal.

That's minimal rust?
