Looks good Coolaride, whats the colour, our 219 is Ascot Grey originally, not sure yet what colour to do it.
Cheers, Gary
From the ID tag, paint code is 351 = Adobe Beige.
Looking good, Rich. At the current rate you might make Phillip Island yet! ;D

(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/coolaride/DSCN0325.jpg)
some of the parts i used .. a few nos bits and even nos wagon springs :o
(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/coolaride/DSCN0372.jpg)

the center rubber is radiator overflow hose while the 2 ends are grommets
with stems available from clarks rubber .

coolaride
hey there
its been a while so heres a bit of an update .

to be put in .
(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/coolaride/Picturefxfjday067Custom.jpg)
(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/coolaride/DSCN1039Custom.jpg)
motors now in and freshly painted , with many period speco bits .

(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/coolaride/DSCN1035Custom.jpg)
i`m using an old school holley 94 carby with a vintage speco adapter .
just wondering if i should make the vacumn line from the rear of the carby to the dissy or
leave it off ? if anyone has some thoughts on this please let me know .
hope to put some more pics up by the end of summer , hopefully with some chroming done ! ;D
talk soon
coolaride
;)
Coolaride,
Your car is starting to look very good, love the old Holley, what a great period piece, and with adjustable jets also if I am not mistaken
Certainly starting to look the goods, do you intend to have it ready for Orange?
It is better to fit the vacuum advance, as this will ensure better fuel economy.
Keith
I agree with Keith - looking very nice! ;D
looking very cool coolaride, nice coil, are they new decals or did you find a new coil :o
the stewart warner gauges look good too
great to see the progress
thanks for the replys
Gary , nos coil , had it kicking around for a while , glad i got to use it as i like the look of
the lucas coil too !
Keith , not too sure about the next nats , will have to wait and see .
good pick up on the jets ! hope they make it easier to tune .
:)
Car is looking really good coolaride.
Hopefully we'll see it at Orange.
very nice Richie,
you've got a horde of nice accessories and period stuff there.
Cheers
Ed
Awesome effort so for. Great to see any progress forward. Excuse my ignorance, but what is the clear bottle inthe engine bay beside where you find the chassis number, behind the brake booster?
Keep the pics coming. Always inspiration for other who are tackling similar problems/tasks
