Not much progress at present.Still waiting for the bloody screens to go in!Still waiting for the bloody boot lid!In the meantime, i bought these......They will be cleaned up & fitted.Just the look i was after!

Col, how did the molasses dip turn out?

Mate do you still have these wheels? If so what size are they, and are they for sale?

Looking good mate, keep up the great work.

Sorry Rob. I sold these when i bought the Simmons. There were some on Gumtree at Farleigh for $40 ea or something, so i heard.

 

I was going to pull the alt bracket out of the goo the other day when the sun came out, but i was distracted. It's still in there. It's still raining.

Jesus wept that's expensive towing.
My Torana friendly towie brought home my new toy recently. For 20km and 45 minutes of his time in the rain he asked $70. Needless to say I gave him some extra for his excellent service.

So Col. Have you got the rego plates yet?

Well yes. Yes i have"

[Statler]

Well it's like this ...... my I.E crashed & took all my files & photos with it.

I no longer have the ability to copy pics from my camera to the pc, & i'm no closer to figuring out why.

 

Strange that it only affected my user account, none of the other users on this PC were affected.

 

So if anyone has the ability to post up a pic for me, i can send it via sms.

[Statler]

Whatttttt......

I tried to order this combo late last year but it said it was taken along with SLR 308....

So I ended up with SLR 008... :-(

[Statler]

It was!  

 

Right place, right time, with the right amount of cash.

[hanra]

[Statler]

Yep, the rain is starting to give everyone of shiets.....damm wot about the size of some of them there pot holes the councils been growin lately?

[Statler]

Thanks Jeff, Maybe you should think about importing a L31? 

 

I love the rain Rob! There should be more of it! .......... LIKE  40 days & 40 nights!

[Rob2408]

To be honest, I don't mind the rain either, the problem is that my shed isn't big enough so nufin happens when it's raining.

[Statler]

It just keeps getting better!

 

Measure up tailshaft ..... take old 3" Muncie shaft in to be shortened ..... please check input shaft to make sure the yolk fits the T-5 plz .... go to pick up shaft saturday morning ...... closed! Pick shaft up today ..... slip yolk wont slip. U-bolts wont U-bolt. ..... jump back in car & take it back, "Nah thats right mate, 27 spline, 30mm shaft. Oh you have a 9", sorry about that. Here are the right U-bolts". ...... go home, count splines, count to 28! Count again, 28! Count again, 28! ..... jump back in car & take it back. No rush, i will pick it up next week. 

 

 I have the correct U-bolts now, but the new diff has a Holden V8 type yolk. No big deal as i am changing the diff centre anyway. Just wasn't planning on doing it this quick. I just hope there isn't much difference in length between the two!

 

 I have lost all ability to post pics, so i need to find a kid with pc skills to sort this mess out. 

 

May as well throw in some new slotted rotors & fresh pads while i'm there.

Are you sure that business isn't located in Cairns?

[Mort]

Col, you and Brad seem to be having the same amount of luck with your builds, lets hope it ends soon.

[Statler]

They were the old 13 x 7s. That particular wheel is a shallow dish. 

 

Suspension is standard height. It may look a bit agricultural but i live in Qld.
