datlow

they seem to have shot up in price though.... did find someone selling them "cheap" on fbmp dunno how dodgy it was though

Shit I’d be happy with that finish!

Fuel lines have a mix of rubber-hardline-rubber + same again for return 1/4 and 5/16 its all crusty and rusty etc so plan to replace the lot whats the best way same again (steel, alloy or SS hardline) or just rubber the whole way- it’s tucked up along the chassis rail so not danger of it being scrapped looks like I’d end up with a bunch of spare hardlines but might come in useful for the other car

For future reference Sta out of stock real helpful with no eta on future stock so taking a punt on these as cheap, was dubious with no photo and nothing much online showing that model as being white wall but they arrived today and are infact as described https://www.tyroola.co.nz/roadx-rxmotion-h12-whitewall-22575r15-102t-ty650148f72f.html

100% this, although im failing miserably at it tbh

/ill drop it off at yours or trevs

So the old man came over yesterday and pointed at things tested the points, no continuity bit of sanding still no spark went into the shed today and noticed the dizzy resting on the guard 🫣 chucked that in and hey presto we have spark can of petrol and cranked over filled the shed with smoke but it wants to run! now to check fuel tank and pump etc pretty sure there’s a carb kit somewhere too https://imgur.com/a/lP2RcBJ

Also just slapping this here so I can find it in 10yrs when it runs and I want the ac working https://www.coldmasterinc.com/product-page/a-c-kit-universal-underdash-h-c-401-1-w-cm-quick-fit-system-electric-compress?fbclid=IwZnRzaAPs9wRleHRuA2FlbQExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkCjY2Mjg1NjgzNzkAAR54YMuIVytnaZ9ZSDHU_M5i5N46tyJD_HafNUfYpT47R6Y8RGD3vgVrk2AscA_aem_aCNDnKKWllewPTM6p-1mZg

Missed that, but yes I have seen it @Nominal Prob better than the other way round

Better learn some bog smithing I guess

Found some pre paint job photos seem to have a design floor with the rear window have a large gap around it (I assume for the vinyl) this allows all the water to sit there and rust….

That’s so random. Wonder if it was a parts car or some such to the one I used to seee or they were just the 2000s drug dealer car of choice either way great work bringing it back from that state!!

Oh yeah plugs and leads arrived…. no spark Ordered coil and rotor dist cap arrived 6am this morning so will try tonight buuuut turns out these things run a mono leaf rear with 2 vertical air shocks run off a compressor and reg and two horizontal shocks air shocks are shot hence it squatting its arse these seem to be NLA 335MM compressed 485mm extended found these with similar specs (another 50mm extension) https://www.summitracing.com/parts/gab-49205#overview any reason they shouldn’t work? I’m sure I can manipulate the regulator to get the correct ride height/make it adjustable even Disregard, more googling shows rock auto list them for 1968 on ones it’ll be fiiiiiine
