AALAWS Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Liking the resto goal: "Thing is I want this to stand out from the rest of the RFB crowd and dis-associate as much as I can" My old lady had 2 of these when they first came on the scene and when i was learning to drive - super nice cars. I was a happy boy when I was allowed it for the night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a happy boy when I was allowed it for the night! Thanks man, yeah I have been in a mates one which was really tidy. I agree, really nice and quite comfy too. Anyways, enough shit posting about lush AU falcons and more RFB nonsense. I was poking round the boot a bit more and noticed a small pile of rust shavings, got out the wire wheel and started digging.... BAD IDEA, think I just opened up a can of worms aye haha. Looks as though when it had the rear end prang and went for repairs no rust prevention was carried out (no suprises there, I've worked in a panel shop before and seen the shit that goes on) under all the "new" seam sealer is rust and rot. While I'm a bit pissed about it at the end of the day it is what it is and would probably be the death of the car in a couple of years if not treated. Going to grind it all out and fix it up then paint the inside of the boot. Will put up pics when I have revealed all its nastyness. Also scored some boot interior parts for a gold coin donation.

RUNAMUCK Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I saw a pretty used looking daily a31 today with minor frontal damage today. I do have a soft spot for these cars/between my ears.if the heater in mine hadn't stopped blowing hot after I'd already had the dash out once to swap the heater core them I might still own it. You need an O8U head for your 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 @Metalhead96 do you still own this? I found what I think is one of the top radiator mount off this car. It's yours if you need it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
