That's good news Weddo, just watching the news on the telly. Shocking!, but at least there seems to be no loss of life.    Dave

Stinky  I think the place you are thinking of is Penny Royal World at Launceston, but I'm pretty sure it's closed down now.  Dave

Happy Christmas everyone and a safe and prosperous 2013 (Gee don't they come round fast)   Dave

No   sorry Scott we must be talking about a different bit. The bit I got is'nt that high, it covers some capacitors and some other bits attached by a cable.  Dave.   

Yeah I got one scott, but it doesnt quite look like it will fit what you have in photo. Mine was for a push button air chief out of an FC. What dimensions do you reckon the cover may be ?  Dave

G,day Scott    I think i've got one in the shed, i"ll have a look a look and let you know.  Dave

Well done with the boot lock, she's lookin real nice. Nice ute too.   Dave

I should add mine was for a sedan. Dave

G'day old blu.  Marty Dean from M & C Fabrications is the guy from QLD thats makes them, or he did when I bought mine about 3 years ago. Not cheap about $600 from memory, but a really nice job, complete ready to bolt in with sender. Try 0421060996.   Dave

The "trick" is to have the special pliers. I did mine with a set of long nose and lots of naughty words.  Dave

Gemini's   I Love em, all my brothers and sisters had one or two, most of my mates as well. ( I had a Datsun 1600). Tryin' to find one for my young fella at the moment but they're thin on the ground.   Dave

Gotta be happy with that Pedro. Now make sure you do as your told  Dave

Great looking car Jamie, Black looks sooo nice (when it's clean). Dave

Looking very sweet.   Won't be long now.    Dave

Hey Ken   How did they go with the bonnet emblems?   Dave

 Les.    If they,re any good mate I'd say 69 bucks is cheap.   I'll take a set.   Dave

G'day Gary   Welcome to the forum.  Mate if you do a bit of looking you should get a pretty good car for 15k. If the car is modified at all you should check if it has all the paperwork certificates ect for trouble free rego. I run my standard grey motor on 95 octane with a lead replacement and it runs great, but as they are fairly low compression a lot of people run them on 91 octane with no problems. If you buy a workshop manual for your car you will be suprised how much mechanical work you can do yourself even if like me you don't have much mechanical knowledge. For stuff you can't or don't want to tackle find a mechanic a little older and they'll probably tell you " I did my apprenticeship on these things". The best bit of advice I could give would be to buy the best body ( ie least rusted ) vehicle you can find because rust repairs paint ect chews up lots of dollars.   Hope you find something.   Dave

Guys     I did a bit of web surfin some time back and I'm sure I found the same type of carpet was for sale in the UK made to fit early Cooper S Mini's.   Dave

Got mine downloaded, and its great.   Thanks FE 4 ME.   Dave

I reckon it looks like an early commodore auto shifter with a custom gate set up.  Maybe.    Dave
