Hi all.

I have not been on for some time.  Basketball coaching took away my life, now I have given that the flick for  a while and the wife wants the FC completed. 

use to be under the name of TCJ and was in Canberra now in Perth.  looking for some local advice on resto and where to look for Disc or Drums for rear.

Hi,  have not been on the forum since I came over to WA in 2007.

Sorry I took so long to get back to you all, all good advice.  My grey motor is all good to go, so I'm thinking I still wish to put this back in. Trouble is time, I don't have it so am looking for a good place to take the car, some one I can trust not to rip me off.  Too many people tell you a price and then double it or at least it seems that way.  So will check out your leads and see what I come up with.  I also wish to keep the 3 on the tree, and steering as is, Thanks for the advice.

Hi,

I moved from ACT to WA previous junior member under Asus.  I have 58FC special and was told that I could modify it with 186 so I did thinking I could get it on the road.  Now I have got my modifications forms back from WA Transport Authority and they want a gazillion things done to the car.  Pity as it runs well and the mods make it an extremely nice drive.


required additional modifications by WA transport include
co-lapsable column, " will require rack and pinion I believe "
twin break system
seatbelt fitments in all seats
2 speed wiper
Window washer
and a number of other things.

Bottom line is the mechanic who did the job has not got time or a workshop to refit the grey.  I would like to find some one here in WA to talk to.

cheers.

Simon

So much love and attention to be taken away in moments of fury
