NEXT regoed what a buzz

[Trev]

I sold my Fb front end to Brett for the conversion, looks like he's done a great job, Trev .

[mrs ratbox]

that's it oldnek
i see in my future a ute that looks very simular to the underside of that FC
that's if i don't become to lazy

[Smooth customs]

Fitted a Torana front end to an EH just like the one shown over 25 years ago.

Have been meaning to do a similar conversion several times over the years but just ended up fitting HR front ends instead.

MICK

Remember that Austin ute in my shop in Sydney with the Torana front and rear ends I fitted

[mrs ratbox]

yes, and then our austin had a torana front and rear also remember bretts A model with austin chassis with torana front and rear that i'm pretty sure you did also

the EH you speak of was it LC/LJ front or LH/LX front ? as this is what the FC has and i'm thinking of

[jameh1964]

floors are done

[mrs ratbox]

[Sammy]

well this is all very interesting

i have a lh torana front end just rusting away and an EH in the shed with no motor in it so im thinking i might have to start doing some measuring ... i know i would much prefer a uc front end to an hr one!

[mrs ratbox]

that's it sammy seeing what you've done before i'm sure you'll nut it out, it would have been for this car but now i'm impatient, so the ute which needs major work anyway is begging for it

i'm EKcited now i just have to get home and do some stuff

Brets roadster was built by Les Buckley of Midnight Spares and Repairs.

I have built one and a half of those roadsters.

But fitted a few Torana front ends to many different types of vehicles.

Have been thinking of doing one for that EJ project

[mrs ratbox]

with all these low mile cars turning up i've just found out that this car only had 5,500 miles on it before it was shoved out in a paddock tha's why the condition isn't so good


for those that doubt me or think i'm lying.......i have 2 words PROOVE IT

[mrs ratbox]

if i could weld the chrismas drive would have been on the cards, disc fronts in HR rear's in new shackle bushes etc done HR colum in engine sitting in engine bay only need chassis kit in to fit gearbox
but there's no rush got no money to pay the rego

[rosco]

Even your worst weld would be better than my best, Mick...

Money - if you couldn't do anything with it - it would be metal and paper - reckon it might be time to go collect cowrie shells again.....
Don't think the rego people would accept them, though... like to see the slot machine which did
2009 us just one number up from 2008 - doesn't seem too long ago we were wishing everyone a happy 2008.....

merry christmas Mr & Mrs Ratbox...

frats,
Rosco

If you need cash, come on down my young (haha) apprentice!!!

Bring some crash protection gear this time though.

[mrs ratbox]

same to you rosco and clan

i'm really fired up about this car and i don't know why in most people's eyes it'll be a shokker fadded paint, dents, rust repairs not dressed and covered in moss

one thing it should have plenty of character

Ratbox Conversions Pty Ltd

Has a good sound to it,

Would bring some $$$ to the Rats piggy bank!!


Oh and nothing wrong with faded chaulky paint,dents,scratches,moss and the like..... its all part of the cars history

My old bomb has plenty of its history on show and I don't care one bit!!

Love it, warts and all
