Great work there Blacky

Nice work. Definitely saveable, and a good price, but then, it is only a HZ.

Only????? Other than the pollution gear, they were a damn fine horseless carriage.

I’m probably a bit biased having owned a HX which was worse for the anti pollution power drain. Also the HX was between HK and EK in my ownership profile, and I fitted 225 tyres all around on 7” rims. Tyre shop advised that was the widest practically, but it made the steering very heavy.

i paid $800 for mine delivered from Brisbane and felt ripped off, but i did only buy it for parts and only for pissy fiddly parts that a panelvan i had didn't come with, i figured nobody would want this and sent it to SIMS, maybe i was wrong

[Blacky]

HHHHMMMM - be a lot easier to tek screw the bastard in - chop the bottoms off them and a bit of seam sealer and nobody would be the wiser

It is in a way - be more fun if it wasn’t 38 degrees again today 26 in the shed so not too bad though
