Hello Bill,

The big build is on hold due to a 3 month old and the other rolling shell I started preparing needed more money spent on it than it cost to purchase this new one.

Needs some love but it’s a running, driving car on full rego without engineering so I can’t complain.

Very good pickup Ben. Shortened column probably from an FB or EK I presume.

A question if I may, regarding the shift mechanism for the all syncro. Floor shift or adapted column?
Cheers

Hello Clay,

It's the original column that the car came with from factory but was shortened/modified to suit the steering box by the previous owner. 

3 speed is floor shift with modified tail shaft etc to suit but will shortly be coming out and swapped for a 4 or 5 speed.

Cheers

Ben

Thanks Ben. I missed the bit about different steering box. I believe the HKTG boxes give a less direct ratio.

I get that you’re replacing the box. Only reason I’d go the three speed would be to keep gears on the column with syncro on first.

It had to pass a roadworthy to change it from club rego back to full rego.
