Seems like your old man would take one off your hands .
Although cruising with your dad can be hazardous , ask Austmod .
Both look to be very nice cars, Trev .

are the wheels on the blue one 13" or 14" i think i want chromies

if you have to sell 1 why did you just buy 1 from the pics i like the 1 you had much more than the one you just bought

Yer why do you have to sell one????

Trev - He's not after a sedan, wants a ute for motocross (i reckon sedans look better )
Ratbox, the blue one has 13" ROH wheels, haven't bothered to look at the new ones yet been flat out.
I can see where you're coming from, but the new one seems to have a much smoother transmission and just better mechanically, and they both have similar amounts of rust (thankfully not much), plus the interior is immaculate.
i'll have to take a snap of the heater unit under the dash-it's gotta be from a kenworth! lol

thats easy to answer, the blue one is missing the L badge of the bonnet, have you seen what rares is askin for one of them

if you need letters let me know i have quite a few, but gotta figure what they are as i believe they're different from FB to EK and front to back, i know FB back is 1 piece

Ratbox, if you could find a front EK 'L' and maybe a rear 'E' in good nick with clips intact that would be appreciated-of course i'll be happy to pay for them.

Spent the last 2 or 3 days hiding the wiring and changing the fuses to blade type fuses, and a trick ignition which i didn't get any photos of yet.

This is how my bench looked halfway through (this is incredibly dirty/messy for my liking)



New fuse panel-Not sure how it rates amongst everyone up here but i reckon it looks pretty schmick



One side of the engine bay-I've hidden everything the best i can-tidied up spark plug cables. Also relocated coil to inside (just to clean up the engine bay that little bit more).



Of course the interior under the dash looks pretty bad but the wires will all be wrapped up and covered with one of those boards that goes from the bottom edge of the dash to the floor...that's next on the to do list.

And one of the shed/bench nearly up to my tidy standards


Also did a bit of decorating for Australia Day





Anndd finally one from my cruise up the coast



Enjoy your weekends everyone,
Jimmy

LOVE the look of the green car keep both of them

I'd love to keep both- don't worry. The grey car will be painted in the same turqouise colour except with a white roof, and i'll just lower it a bit and stick with the 13" chromies and caps. People absolutely LOVE that colour.

Thats the coolest

Yes, keep them both.
I;m seriously thinking about getting two also.
A sedan would be nice.

I do like the Grey, always did. Very nice

Hey Jimmy

You've done us proud mate !!! Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't drive through Auburnon Granville or Lakembanon with that flag - it'll be Cronulla riots all over again, LOL

And the answer is NO - you can only keep ONE, LOL!

The Turquoise is for sale if anyone is interested..............

Dave Mac

might make a trip up to the party shop on monday...i want more flags
Seeing as i cant fly a bunch of flags from the back like i did with the ute i have to be more creative...i've got some more ideas
