Hi Bill  Please put me down for 1 lunch pack on the friday as well thanks  Allan Wall

Hi where abouts are you in the mountains? I,m in Springwood     Cheers Al

Hi rich it's Al from the club, the tailgates I have are station wagon and panel van ones. Sorry, I thought I might have had a ute one.   Cheers Al

Another way you could go which I have done a few times is use a late HD or HR drum front end, change engine mounts and outrigger. You still have a standard looking drum brake system with ball joints. Gives a better ride and better steering. Ball joints last longer and are cheaper to replace than king pins.

Hi Craig  you can use FC front end just got to redrill backing plates, you will have to use EJ, EH, HD or HR rear end. If you use HD or HR rear you won,t have to move the rear flexible brake hose connection on diff housing. I,m going to the meeting tonight so I will see you then.      Al

Hi Craig  I would try 28-30 psi first, I have an adjusting spanner you can borrow if you want.   cheers Al

There,s only one colour and that,s    Ascot Grey 

John, First check the engine dip stick for water and increased oil level, If the head gasket has blown that bad or the head / block has cracked you,d see those signs on the dip stick, if Ok then check the thermostat... sounds like there could be a blockage in the cooling system some were.  Good luck  Al

Sorry Craig you only had the red light warranty

Wow Craig, I remember when we striped the motor down, measured the bore and was surprised and glad that it was standard. I also remember late one night in the workshop weighing and filing engine parts  making sure all the pistons weighed the same also the conrods, maincaps, ect... using June's kitchen scales which if she knew about, she would have killed me. The motor that's in the ute now I rebuilt not long after I did your's. Were did 23yrs go....

Congratulations and well done Tim, getting the wagon on the road and waiting for the birth of your baby you and Bec must be feeling over the moon (excited and nervous) Hope all goes well for Bec, you and the baby.        Cheers Al

Looking for Boot lid and Bonnett for FE or FC please. As I,m in the Blue Mountains, Sydney area would be great.  PH. 0428440011 or 4751 2252     Al

Hi Julie      it,s Al with the yellow ute, I,ve sent you a PM also.         Cheers Al

WOW !!!! that's my ute on the front page          Al

 It,s a Vauxhall ute not an FJ ute, look at the rear window/frame and the dash       Al     

Hey Damo58,           I know you guys aren,t backward . I just couldn,t understand why fc mad was asking about a motor that,s in Sydney when he comes from another state (see I was beeing nice calling Tassie a state). When he first inquirerd I thought he must have lived around my area.  $700 for a V6, no harness & starter motor!!!! no wonder he asked.       Cheers Al

Oops... they were the early 1600cc push rod motor Cortina rocker covers not the overhead cam ones.      Al

Ed,    what you can do which I,ve done before is to increase water capacity, I use,t to get a cortina rocker covers drill a hole in the opposite end from the oil filler and soilder a radiator outlet connection in, (same size as the bottom rad hose) then weld a plate the length of the opening on the R Cover with 4 mounting holes. Mount the RC on front panel (close to radiator) put a hose from the bottom of the rad to the connection on bottom of RC then from top of RC put another hose to water pump on motor, gives the motor about 4 extra litres. You don,t have to use a RC. I used Cortina ones because the oil filler neck was long and the right size for hoses, plus every wrecker had them and they were cheap. Try something like that!!!! might be easier than trying to make a shroud fit.  Hope this helps you.           Cheers Al

Hi Ed,    Ben had a lot of trouble keeping the HR cool, he had the Aussie Desert Rad in it with thermos but it still got hot in traffic and really hot days. After a lot of pain, I finally convinced him to put on a large flexible engine fan  (you know how stubburn Ben is  ) and it fixed the overheating problem. The trouble with putting bigger motors in these cars is that the engine bay is too small and the heat from the motor and exhaust can,t get away quick enough which causes heating problems. Ben also has a transmission fan cooler under the front of the car which helps as well. I think any good radiator will do the job with a bit of help from other things.            Cheers Al
