chur

hay man i got some twin carbs and manifold in my shed. not sure what 4g they off or condition pm if your keen

Will get some pics of the welding i did on the subframe sometime this week

So took the holden for a wof just before beach hop and it failed on some chassis rust. Had a couple of wholes on the subframe around the mounting point. Decided to remove the subframe from the holden and have a good look. Like all ways its always worst than it looks.

This is the front end off.

So this is what i found

The subframe where is bolts up to the body

Rangi patch to try stiffen things up as there was fuk all steel left there, just to get to beach hop.

The body where the subframe attachs too.

Still yet to drill the hole in there for the bolt and clean up welds and paint it up

Cleaned up some the rust on the body. I gave it a coat of paint the other day but never got round to getting and pics of it

Also got some venetians too. Ordered them hopping to have them by beach hop but they arived a hour after i had left. Oh well they in now.

Cheers Kane

hahaha algood bro. what you had in mind? i dont think id let it go for awhile yet ae.

Hey Kane - You want to sell this?? You must be sick of it by now....

yeh im after some machining done too around the tauranga area. im able to hook people up in making surge tanks and other shit like that and possibly stainless drop tanks and what not.

Looks very tidy. Before you lower it or change the wheels etc, you could see if it could earn you a bit of extra cash as a wedding car.

Might have to be bogan weddings though...

haha yeah i was thinking to my self the other day that it would be a good wedding car. to bad i dont know anyone having a wedding or anything.

I say keep that 186 in it and just concentrate on kissing the pavement.

Loved this car on trademe.

hey there this is my new daily ride. 66 Holden Hr Special wagon. just got it about a week ago, at the moment im just trying to clean up a few bit and pieces while i finish off my other car. Then hopefully look at rebuilding the 186 motor with a few lil upgrades or might look down the line of droping a v8 in it.
