Would it be going to far to suggest the "Clitaurus" will have a distinct smell of FISH oil.

If your car has a sunroof it could be an ejection switch.

Welcome on board and make sure you keep updates exactly that. Updated.  Once you start Im sure progress will move forward quite quickly as you seem as keen as I was when I started.   I was never a fan of the grey before I bought my FC and am now happy to say ive joined the masses and can appreciaite a hot 138 like most of us on here.  As far as the Datsun fetish goes, thats cool.  My first car was a 120Y fourdoor and the Dato will always hold great memories.

Some of you should experience the itinnery which we are required to keep up with when FE ambo is given the task. 

From memory he knows well in advance (ie months before the event) when bathroom breaks are going to be required and allows time to un-zip, zip .  Almost works into the equation how many red lights we will encounter and how long each wil hold us up for.

****** No Not those kind of red lights ****** 

Its all good fun and adds to the challenge of the road trip

This argument has not flared up since last year    so I thought I would try and ruffle some feathers.

Its more of a project than I am willing to take on. 

Out Of My League. Only thing going for it is its an FC, not a FE. 

Doh!

What a fantastic Job you've done Scott.  Bet you cant wait to get it on the road.  You've come such a long way and looks like your about to reap the rewards.  Cant wait to see the end result.

Those NASCO curtains in the back look like they could do with a good wash.

Looks like the Summernats are alive and well after all the talk in Canberra mid year that it was not going to happen anymore.

Its on my list of must do's but I never seem to get there.

If I keep saying next year every year one day it wont be there

Sweet looking ride.  Sure to turn a few heads.  With all those stickers on the back window looks like shes been well loved and used.

Cool looking car, and ur lucky its well known around the circles to get all that background info.  Does the rear seat fold down, (either forward or backwards to allow for the panel van side to be utilised, and is it a one piece backed rear seat or does it divide into to so you can lay down either the left or right side?

Looks in quite good condition.  Enjoy the car and welcome to the forum.

I've always wondered about the fibreglass panels and how they would fail to help in the event of an accident

On another note I glad to see you have opened a shed on another site im sure most of us are members of, to keep us up todate on the eh progress.

Maybe FE-Ambo can sheed some light as to why the young fella has a busted up nose in the last photo.

Hi Ken.  Thanks for the offer.  I went and bought an impact screw driver originally and used the largest bit that came with it, but still no success in getting the stubourn ones out.  Might have to heat the suckers up with an oxy and have a go.

Damn cigarette lighter just does not do the job.

A set of 12 does either two front doors or two rear doors right???

Thanks for the quick reply 427.  Only had time to get fuel and drive to work before you had already responded.

Blackwoods had them in UNC with a allan key head but said they had no listing for UNF.  Also I think the little grab washers with the teeth may be a bigger problem.  Instead of using the square nut with the locking tab on the back is there any reason why a lock nut wont do the job?

I have been trying to source the bolts, nuts and nut locks used to fit the door hinges into the A and B pillars all this week as i had to destroy approx half of mine to get them out as they had seized severley.

Nominated as A in the diagram


Where have people sourced these from ie Blackwoods, Rare Spares etc. 

Thanks in advance.

Lets see how close to the mark I was.  For the sellers sake I hope it goes to what they want, but for a buyers sake I hope it stays with one bid as I dont think its worth any more than $6000.00

Hows that for sitting on the fence. lol.

I made up a jumper and t shirt for my 16 month old when I went to the HD/HR Nationals in Mudgee in 2008.  Simple iron on transfer on the front and the back.  Just basic photoshop skills added a personalised touch.  All in all cost me under $15.00 for the two tops including the paper to transfer onto.
