Well Weddo,

I did buy a few Lokar bits 

Do they sell shorter springs?

Stinky,

Go out in the mulga.  Plenty of 'new' bushes there.   

You absolute @#$&^s

That web page for Pearlcraft is way cool.  I keep on replaying that opening page simply because it sounds & looks so good.


BTW,

Kathi,

Well done on being 'chosen' for the cover and two of the content cars.

Slim,

That's good buying.

Cheers

Julia Gillard sent over.

What's this restriction on postings less than 30 seconds apart business?

Pedro,

Not good for Maryanne.  My mother was diagnosed with it, when it was in its early stages.  She's still with us 35 years later.  Maryanne'll pull through, she'll need a fair bit lot of support.

Found this picture, taken circa 1964, when SA farewelled their 500B Class 4-8-4s.

This picture is taken approaching Victor Harbor.

Three film clips, shot circa 1960.  They are silent movies.

On a slightly more international vein, a book that I remember from my childhood (my father received it for some achievement at high school) was The Stirling Moss Book of Motorsport.  Published circa 1953.

From memory, it was a very good book.

I thought,     from the heading,     that you wanted to know who likes Tasman Wheels. 

Could be Colorado.  I've got a similar one - NOS for FJ Ute.

Really nice detail work on this one.

Here's an FC in part of a Homicide episode.

I've got a set of Datsun 240K two door buckets.  Fit in very well, lots of space between for a console, third seat, whatever.

Gary,

This may sound patronising, it is not meant to.  Fitting the bailey Channel is easy.

Your long piece does need to be cut, so that it goes into the top of the door and the straight edge of the door (back of front, front of back).  Measure the length of the top of door channel maybe six or seven times, to get it right.  Mark your long piece with a pencil, then cut.  You can cut it at a right angle or you can cut it at 45 degrees, to make a factory looking join, where the pieces meet at the corners.    The only bending that you should do is to shape your cut piece over the rear door window.  You should not attempt to bend it over the right angle at the front/rear of the glass.  It will not bend.

When you have it cut, push it into the door channel.  I used some Liquid Nails to glue mine in.  What made mine a little easier was that I did the right two doors, then the left two doors, so that I always had an assembled door to copy off.

I reckon that it'll take you about 90 minutes to two hours to do your first door, then it will take less on each of teh other three.

Stinky, remember that yer floor is the same in all body styles.  Yer don't need to change the rear floor in a van ter fit the wagon back seat.  If yer got rust, that's different.

Same applies FE to HG.  FJ and HQ on have different floors.

Looks like NSWPTC* Blue and White.

*NSW Public Transport Commission.  1972-1978.

That's a fairly heavy lace for the quarter panel.   

Notice that it has Standard spears on the front guards and that teh right rear door stainless is lifting?

These pictures are really good.
