Thanks boss - would you say masking tape good for it or something else better? cheers

Also, does it matter if any of the identifying part marking etc gets obliterated?

saw heaps of AUs at pick a part today - they must ve sold quite a few for them to end up in reasonable number there...

say, with minor surface rust on shocks, can I just media blast and paint the shock body? do i mask the chromey thingy rod with masking tape or something and give it a blast?

cheers

as i was saying - but it looks more like '62 

spotted what looks like a ratty looking 61 valiant - might be able to upload a pic if i remember to get it off the dashcam

I think this is precisely why I love it

$25 all in for a brochure is pretty cheap, even if it's a brochure about garbage.. 

Oh man you crack me up - I wish I stopped throwing stuff away. I think I had a few mint condition falcon brochures EF XR8, something LTD and BA... When will I learn

Thanks man - but I was hoping someone's already had some scanned in electron format... shipping's so expensive from aussie eh 

hey man does anyone have AU brochure or something - cheers

I'd be inclined to go for a car with less "fckd" stuff - going thru a mild case of project fatigue (why am I on this forum then??? )...

look at the recline - that shouldn't be legal! 

The colour is absolutely ghastly - and is the grille supposed to be painted body colour?

Is that Model T? I thought I captured a few front shots but the phone let me down.

that sounds bogus man but maybe easier to pull it out than argue about it.

it's like the time my car got failed for "excessive" emergency foot brake pedal travel. it didn't matter that it was within the manufacturer's specification.

probably too late for you as it's agains the record but can you just wind the window right down and pull fuse - window winder operation is not wof requirement, is it?

anyway, do they have some sort of measuring device to check VLT?

speaking of which...

is that tyre for the bug?

nah i was just being a dick - 600 comment got me to the ball park, thought it looked too big to be a 500 but 600 rear comes down without the little hump of 500. Also bonnet looks more like a lid on 500 as opposed to that on 600 which blends with the fenders and front panel.
