If you want nice new ones people like classic industries in the US have them for all sorts of cars. The prices are usually pretty good as well.

Looking forward to a Burger tonight. Trust there will be some others to eat with and talk shit about old cars.

Yes

Yes they are the single piece ones. The don't look to different to some old LH torana ones I have lying around.

Sorry to Hi Jack this, I have the MK 2 calipers on my caravan, are new discs available, the VTNZ WOF guy got excited about the minor pitting on the disc face.

Sick kids, not going to make it. Bugger

Wife is out of the country, might be able to duck down for a quick bite between being a taxi for the kids.

I saw the car at the Painters when I was down there a couple of weeks ago. Looks really good. Are you local to Birkdale?

Stress, when the mind over rides the bodies desire to stay next to the fire and go out into the fucking cold and look at old cars and talk shit. I will be there.

I may be in the Ellerslie area and need a Burger.

It's coming along nicely. Keep up the good work!!

Well overdue for an update. Been side tracked with giving the 2 bedroom flat in our basement a full birthday, repainted everything, new carpet and lino, new toilet, vanity etc etc. All finished now and new tenants moving in next week end. Work has been mad busy as well and to be honest going down into the garage when its cold and the fire is on has lost its appeal. Anyway enough there has been progress. I pulled the new alloy Gemini radiator I bought a while ago out of its box and sat it in place. should be all good once the hole in the support panel is trimmed back 10mm on each side. I had the top panel blasted and painted, it just needs a quick blast of rattle can black to match the rest of the engine bay. I went to bolt it in place and found that all the captured nuts are full of paint and crap. I went to the local bolt shop and bought replacement bolts for the guards and front panels. About 45 1/4 UNF bolts with flat washers and spring washers and a tap to clean up the threads. There are a few 5/16 bolts as well. Even though each item is cheap all together it starts to add up. I have had the modified wring loom from @vk327 in the garage for a while. Still in the box that he sent it back to me in, I haven't even opened it up to have a look. I'm heading off for a week tomorrow, family holiday for the school holidays. The following week the wife and kids are away skiing (I wonder why I have no money) so should be able to get some serious garage time in. Promise photos in the next update.

Just saw your update. You are suffering from a very common affliction of people who can do stuff. That is doing it yourself because paying someone lots of money to do a worse job hurts too much. I suffer badly myself. Now back to work on the car!!!

Nice piece of kit.

I had the one in the Holden built at ADL in Penrose. Everything new except for the yoke. Cost about $750.
