It goes along very nice.
It hasn't got a very lumpy cam so, it's very drivable. But when the foot goes down, it takes off. ;)

I have listed my ute on ebay.

The drivers door on my van has been showing signs of dropping (sagging) lately. I had been thinking that I was getting wear in the pins or the bushes. I finely got around to removing the door to check the hinges for wear. Sure enough there was slop in the hinges. My first thoughts were that that the pins or bushes were worn as I had been thinking, but after removing the hinges from the car I found that the pins had moved upwards so that the knurled section on the pins were no longer seated into the hinges. The knurled sections are larger in diameter then the rest of the pin and this was why I had slop in the hinges once they moved out of position. For those who don't know, the knurled section of the pin is hammered into the hinge body when fitting the hinge sections together. This holds the pin in place. I checked the passenger side hinges as well and found the same problem.
My fix was to MIG a small tack of weld to the head of the pin onto the hinge. Once this was done, no more slop and I shouldn't have the problem again.
I hope this info will help some of you guys who like myself were not aware of this problem.

Fair call.

There is a very good wheel offset chart on the Dragway wheels website under car products.
It can be downloaded or printed.

Thanks Guys for your help. ;D
Roll on Easter.

I have been trying to contact the WA club. I wish to enter the Nationals and have some questions to ask before doing so. I have been ringing the club mobile number. No answer. I have left a message. No reply. I have sent a message through the web site. No reply.
If someone from the club reads this, could they get the correct person to give me a call.

I had a LC 4cyl Deluxe Torana 2 door and it came fitted with a 150cd. In fact the motor (complete with carby) is still in the back shed.

I cut mine out of a white nylon kitchen cutting board.

Thanks for that. That sure looks like the way to.

Hi all.
I want to fit a set of seatbelts to my van. I guess retractable type would be best.
My question is, what vehicles should I go looking for to get a set for an easy fit up. It still has the bench seat. I reckon this has been done many times so a post here may save me a bit of leg work.

Yes, I was there and a few other members of our club also made the trip. We had a great weekend and there were lots of very good cars on display. The Bundy club put on a very well run show.
