Yr a win on Harko I like yr style...Thanks for the encouragement, of course the price is very negotiable and being in the West is a real disadvanage yeah...I will try the web site you gave us and sit tight, trying to hang in there for her to go to a good home. Went to the Holden wreckers to see about parts and ? if they were interested in buying her, they offered $700 for 'her' parts! was all they wanted . They busy doing up other cars and not able to take the job on bla bla    Anyways will check in again... Thanks blokes, this is kinda cool...  

Hiya, thanks for the info. Do you have an email address of the recommended HR contacts? I am offering $2000, I have done some checking and believe I have been informed wrong as the engine  is orange a ?173  :-/still not positive on that either, and the brakes are disc brakes, i am now going to obviously ask you guys if i need to know anything eh...  

  Are ya interested or just bored? Obviously i know nothing, only repeating wot a bloke like yrselves explained who knows more about engines than a chick like myself, and i may have it wrong but i can send your a foto, or 3? If it makes you happy? Oh, and an inch is an inch...

We are selling our family car   after nearly 6 years. It was bought at a  private sale from a bloke who took it home off a movie set in Qld over 15 years ago making  it here to Perth WA. She is a renovators delight, light blue with white roof station wagon, with 8HR number plates and floor 3 speed gears. It has since had new tyres; air brakes; rear air shocks and springs; the engine is a very reliable red 172: new plugs & exhaust, and thus she has never broken down. The roof was new 4 years ago, the body has some rust which has been part of the reno plans, but due to children and work became a low priority, now the job must go to a more committed HR lover. Any further queries don't hesitate to contact me, Coralee
