I was recently informed that Graeme - JOX515 as per the forum - passed away earlier this year.

As such, I wanted to inform forum members of his passing. Graeme was a good guy always up for a chat.

Shame to hear, Graeme.

Hope you’re doing okay and have other hobbies lined up.

Does the grille badge come with mounting brackets?

PM sent!

Thanks Graeme  :)

Thanks Gary,

Look forward to hearing from you

P.S. I’m still flirting with the kangaroo leather interior idea.

Hi Graeme and thanks for your response.

I don’t do Facebook [anymore]. Is this Scott aka collecta?

I regret selling my FC interior trim years ago and want to put it back together.

Happy to buy yours but don’t want you to be in the same predicament as me!

Hi all,

I’d like to buy a pair of FC arm rests for the front doors.

Condition doesn’t matter too much as they’ll be recovered at some point.

Posting to Tas/Hobart.

Thank you,

Josh

Photos Ben!

Is it a local car?

Hi all,

I'm looking for an early red 202 block; pre-pollution.

Ideally I'd prefer the block to be located in Southern Tasmania, but beggars can't be choosers.

Thanks,

Seatbelt Solutions in WA too Pete.

Maybe a turbo then?  8)

Are you going to add another 2 cylinders/1.2 litres, Graeme  ???

Surely no caps are better than those Supercheap specials.

Will you keep the painted bumpers?

Great purchase btw  8)

Welcome Corey,

Think about the Subaru H6 boxer engine too mate -  they go hard and sound silky smooth. 6 speed manual too  8)

Years ago in Street Machine I read about a 4 cylinder conversion from a Datsun 200B into an FC; I think the theory was they had similar HP outputs but the Datto engine was more economical; sadly something that we need to consider these days.

You'll get heaps of input from members on here who have done the 304 V8 thing (NES, Craig, Pete to name a few).

There's some quirky stuff too; a 2J project on here which looks awesome, and Ben (GrandmasterB on here) is doing a 1UZ V8 which will be great (if I were to do it again I'd follow a similar path). Pete on here (who has a 304 FC ute) is also doing an RB26DETT Nissan GTR powered FC Holden which is smooth as silk.

Tough van - looks great!

Thanks - I'll give Marty a call on Monday.

I was initially thinking about an Aeromotive phantom system, but EFI Hardware in Victoria do an in-tank conversion which utilises a Commodore pump and is much cheaper.

Regards,

Josh.

Hi all,

Does anyone know the depth of a Marty Dean stainless fuel tank? I’d like to know so I can buy an drop-in, in-tank fuel pump.

Regards,

Josh

Search is over; picked up a sump from the local Kia dealership this morning!!!

Hi all,

As per the post, I'm wanting to buy a red/blue motor rear mounted sump;EH to Torana to HZ.

I'm running a HR front end with Torana rack and I'm want to build a deeper oil pan to suit circuit racing.

I'm based in Alice Springs but postage isn't a problem.

Regards,

Josh.
