Threeonthetree Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 Do you have much in the way of spares I'm looking for interior bits for my wb flyingbrick has a WB so would be worth having a chat to him. I've got a couple of gloveboxes that came as spares with my van. I'm pretty sure two of the three aren't beige but I know one is broken. Will check when I'm at the shed next but I don't think I have anything else that would suit your needs. Mine is generally all HQ, HJ, HX and HZ at the latest. If its just a standard hq sedan not that keen if it was a prem or statesman more keen sounds too straight rust free to cut up for bits If it is just a standard HQ sedan then I am quite interested. Would it be possible for me to view it? PM me with details if that's okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr.wylde Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Giggity giggity! Looking forward to seeing this thing progress. so much lush. nothing beats rumbling along at 90kph with the 308 singing away 1950rpm while leaning back in your Luxuriosly Appointed couch. and the air chief blasting some tunes. Note: My 308 does this rpm at 90-100kph due to the 2.60:1 open diff (traumatic equiped) dunno what yours would do! whats your bango diff ratio? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibirdman Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I've got a V8 Holden aftermarket electronic ignition set up that I would be happy to donate to the cause. I kept it out of the 308 ute that I had last century and it worked really well. The centre button was missing out of the dizzy cap and it still ran perfectly. Give me a PM if you want it.
