Thanks everyone, sorry kevin but i do not have a tail shaft at all. looks like the Torana option would be the best.

hi FB Mad, many thanks and yes, the measurements would be helpful as i do not have a drive shaft available. we are putting in a 186 if that helps.thanks again.

hi all, when fitting a red 186 and trimatic into FB, what drive shaft would be needed to fit the original diff, or would one have to be made up for it? thanks guys.

many thanks for that thommo, i have sme old scrap doors so will experiment on them first following your instructions. will let you know what the outcome is when i get around to doing them. cheers.dave

just while i am still awake, i was reading thru tinas posts and she states that the doors on her convertile were lenghtened 5.5 inches, how do you lengthen the doors? are they cut in the middle and a section added?

FB MAD, thanks mate, have sent her a pm, i think HEMI actually did the work on the car.

thanks ben, dont suppose anyone knows whose car it is?

hi ratbox. i know this is not a logical answer to your question but it is the truth. We have had the FB for over 12 years, unregistered and just sitting around, and all of that time i have wanted to make it a 4 door convertible. 4 door because i like the idea of it. i know that i am being told it is ...

thank you smooth

thanks for the comments smooth, as always, straight to the point but i would like to make some things a little clearer.,yes, we have an engineer involved in this and he has never done a conversion like this and has advised us to install abox chassis with extra stregthening for the door pillars, his ...

hi all. just on the subject of body strengthening and as we are taking the roof off our FB, we have to install a box chassis to stregthen the body etc,. the new chassis is to be fitted between the inner and outer sills so has to be fairly narrow but strong enough to do the job.we had planned on ...

thanks trev
