[EK JAY]

picked up my motor this week pretty tidy for a old girl (1969)
ive got to clean paint it and fit some new gaskets extractors and new elect dizzy
get it running nice on the stand and go from there

[searsy]

So was the 253 a good runner jay

[EK JAY]

Yeah searsy its a good runner
started making a stand today so i can work on it and then run it on there
it needs a few gaskets( rocker cover and valley gasket) and i want to paint it before it go's in
still need to finish the red wagon but theres only a bit of wirring to go on that then its up for sale
at least it is driveable now and i can move it out of the shed so i can work on the FB

[EK JAY]

Hi
small up date got some parts back from the blasters rocker covers and air cleaner
should come up nice once painted also picked up a new decal for the air cleaner
The motor is now firmly on the stand i made and ready for new gaskets

[Finny]

Spent the day listening to lots of V8's yesterday, at Powercruise.
Really looking forward to seeing what you do with this one.

Hi got the fb on stands pulled out the old diff ready for the lc lj diff
after i clean and de bracket it and paint it
got hold of a hk column shift auto steering column ( collapesable ) wich the fb steering wheel should fit without to much trouble

[samprinci]

[Mick]

JAY ya putting new windsheild wipers on a busted windsheild there buddy you painted the front end then have to grind and weld on it for the engine mounts and rack

[EK JAY]

[BILLY BLACKARROW]

Yes I said that 10 years ago (hope to have this car finished before christmass yes thats this chrissy ) but you do work faster than I do, It's almost a insult I mean, I am retied so should have more time.

hope to have this car finished before christmass yes thats this chrissy

hope to manage that with the FB i have, mine's not that technical but f#%k i'm slack lately so we'll just see was sposed to go to sydney to get some stuff done that is beyond me (structural welding) on thursday but with the fires it will probly be put off again as i might not get through

[MeFB]

Any progress on this one mate?
Did you get a motor?

finally got a motor its a good 253 out of a HT HG (pre pollution motor)
so 253H prefix wich is a high comp motor
comes with all original gear wich is what ive been looking for

sweet as bro a thongslapper

I'm still trying to work out what a thongslapper is Sounds like an unwelcome guest at a toga party.

Personally, I love a good 253. Recently been having thoughts of putting modified grey motor rocker covers on one, complete with breathers, then painting it grey and sticking it in an otherwise stock looking FK...
