Not a mate just someone who's been recommended by a few people I know.

No worries

Finally back in the garage and decided to turn the engine over... Found water in the fuel so we decided to put a few drops straight into the carby. She almost turned over but still couldn't get there. So we had a little looksy in the carby and found so much crap and sand I could have started a beach party in the garage.

The carby looks pretty tired and needs rebuilding. It's a two-barrel Varajet from a VH commodore. Can anyone recommend a reliable place in the se burbs of melbs that can look at it for me? Will probably also need a new dizzy cap set up.

So I have taken the carby and fuel pump off, sad news is that there was water sitting in the fuel and has corroded everything, the carby is knackered and I find out on the weekend the fate of the fuel pump.

I took a bit of the paint off around the rear window area to see the dodgy fix job with fibre glass, it's worse than I thought.











Think I might have to think about bringing in some expert help so I don't dodgy it up myself

Jesus did they use the same log splitter to cut the speaker holes??

I know Muza, they have done a few quick fix and some hack jobs but for the price I paid for this car you gotta expect stuff like this. I was thinking of trying to clean the holes up a bit, maybe even welding some plate in there and doing the holes properly.

[jarvo]

Speaker holes that is not the rust holes, will cut them out all together.

Wonderful to see another one being saved jarvo.

Can you please post up a pic of the ID plate?

Thanks for the chassis number.

Steve

[jarvo]

Will try tonight Steve, not sure how well it will come out, it is a bit hard to read. I have posted it up in the ID thread.

Cheers
Jarvo

Yoy could probably just neaten it up with a jig saw mate

[jarvo]

Here is my ID plate, it was too hard to read so I got the mini sand blaster on it this morning and it came up a treat

Yeah I could do that too, sounds easier...

[Aussie Bob]

Thanks Jarvo, I wanted to see the plate (even though you have typed them in the ID thread) as I hadn't seen an original Mandong Red plate ... very rare.

Thank you,

Steve
