Regards Weddo 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.

Is it a local car? Title: Re: Numbers for Ken Post by: GMB-58FC on October 22, 2019, 07:43:42 AM Photos Ben! Is it a local car? Needs some love but it’s a running, driving car on full rego without engineering so I can’t complain.

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 Clay Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 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 Title: Re: Numbers for Ken Post by: Errol62 on October 22, 2019, 10:27:25 AM 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.
