Thanks to all that replied to my request. I have found a tow bar just 5 mins down the road of all places. Now to remove 60yrs of surface rust , weld a couple of brackets on , paint and fit to the car. Will be able to tow the caravan to Toowoomba after all! Cheers, Jack

Hi Fred, I am running an ecotec V6 in my FC and I fitted a HQ V8 triple cored radiator with a Ford Mondeo shrouded twin thermo fan setup. I have had no trouble with overheating but remember the V6 thermostat doesn't open until the motor reaches 92 degC and under normal running conditions will sit on about 98 degC which is considerably hotter than the old Holden 6. Hope this helps, Jack

All booked in a Big 4 cabin. Looking forward to catching up with all the great people we met in Tassie. Time to start saving for the fuel and beer!. Cheers, Jack and Chris.

Hi JB, glad to see you're making some progress. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the turning circle, I know I was! Mine turned out better than an early commodore. Keep the good work up, Cheers, Jack.

Thanks to all involved in organising a great Nats. Had a ball catching up with old friends and making new ones. Tassie has so much to offer. Definitely coming back for a second look in the future. Looking forward to Toowoomba in 2016. Take care everyone, Cheers, Jack

My mistake JB, yes it was shocks you got off me not springs. I am running 500lb springs on mine so I reckon you might need about 550lb springs. It is a bit of trial and error to get the right height. Best of luck, Jack.

hello Dean, welcome to the forum. 7 x 13 Dragways will fit depending on the offset of the rims. I had these rims with 205 tyres on my stockie but used to rub on the back guards with a couple of people in the back. It would be best to put the rims on the car before you get tyres and check clearances on full lock both ways and line up outer edge of rim with the lip on the rear guards to determine if the tyres would rub. Hope this helps, Cheers, Jack
