    I will be building my Simmons up to have the same rears as the white XY (10”)with the same fronts as the red XY (8.5”) both cars have the FR17 centre and stepped lips to 18”. There are no FR18 centres that I’m aware of. A new set from Simmons 3 piece in the 18”x 10” and 18”x 8.5” are……..$8k

    So this happened - genuine FR17 I’m getting stepped 18” lips and inners with the desired end result being 18x10 and 18x8.5 with as much dish as I can squeeze under the guards.

SOLD. $649 for 3 number 3 letter combination…. I can’t believe it was available 351C XY Fill ya boots - $199 to remake any personalised plate to black silver if some before 31/11/24.

    cracked into the Toploader and took more paint off. Then rust proofed it after the drill battery died. Photos not loading so that’s all I have for the efforts haha

    Copy that!

    Yes those are a decent option for sure. I guess it comes down to how OG do I want it to be aye.

    This Hurst shifter popped up suited for a 1971 Mustang Toploader. Hoping like hell it suits my loader and it appears that it should. Looks to be an extra linkage arm included too. excellent price so had to get it - mate wants my xa shifter and linkage set up for his xa hardtop Toploader. word on the street is that Hurst shifters are a game changer on an old Toploader. Time will tell.

    Wire wheel session and internally it’s looking a lot better already.

    Bell housing is here - pretty happy with this set up. toploader is taking shape

    I hear they are unforgiving if not set up correctly and can be finicky as F. I didn’t think I’d be able to afford one to be honest but I made it all happen. I really want this to be in keeping with how they came out from factory but I’m not going to all the effort to have it exact. XA GT - siiiick

    Pretty much have all the hard to acquire parts now and it’s about time to get the block/s sonic tested and built up. loads of niggley bits like dizz alt, carb coil oil pump and pick up clutch fly and slave, pedal and master, exhaust to go. But those are readily available.

    I located the correct bell housing for my toploader and even better, it's local too. I will need to drill and tap 3 additional holes as seen by my rudimentary blue dots. One hole is correct and when I put a bolt in that one and offer up the toploader, it locates on the bearing retainer (circle hole in the bell housing). Difficult to find these bell housings as this one has the cast clutch slave mounts and this takes the larger 164 tooth flywheel Next steps, sonic test blocks and measure bearings up for a quick build

    Cheers pal - I will need to sus a 9” down the line and get the ratios right for my usage. my diff might be 2:77 or 2:92 ish. It’s a single spinner so definitely needs toughening up one day def needs an lsd I need a flywheel and clutch soon plus a bell housing (think mate has one) next steps paint strip the.box and get it nice and blue. Will probably passivate the linkages at some stage too.
