oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital

whats your roof vent Jase , it looks (from a distance} like the scoop on the rear of the bonnet from an austin or something similar .
I scrolled the wreckin yard today for something just like that to put into the parcel shelf area of this 58 chevy lounge .

got the axle sorted discs on...
sold the commodore and cortina
and have the shed back :)
and am in the process of sorting out a plan for the EK
this is it so far
1.sell the old greys for as much $$$ as i can get
2.fit front/rear (ej) ends all shing recoed n that including brakes
3.reco 202 out of trana (just a rering bearing job)as im poor
4.fit straight cut timing gears
5.Trimatic or celica 5 speed?????
6.look at body,
Ive already done that
Basically get it red powered,finish the body and steal someones trim,oh and concentrate on it besides work etc...

F*$K do yourself a favour and get rid of that peugeot ASAP! There's a reason why they're cheap - they're rubbish. Everyone i've known who has had a peugeot has had neverending problems with it
