  1. Thanks guys,

    Only thing I've done is put the twin tips on, been so busy at the new house.

    Off to Darwin tomorrow for a much deserved holiday, then we move house when we get back. Hopefully the new stove/toilet/hot water/carpet is all done before we get back.

  2. more pics of the beast, got my paint already (tropicana green) but it's to cold to paint now :)

    I did get the engine bay painted tho, flat black FTW....

    and yes the bonnets black too, had the black already so used it as a practice run.

    shiny but needs a bit more work, maybe next year

    just needs a supercharger now :)

  3. Harvo, what are putting that supercharger on?

    On the Datto if it'll fit, have to get the tape measure out and check first :D

    Make or modify a pulley system, and finish off an adaptor for a 310 Holley.

    Maybe a cam grind too.

    Just doing it for something to do, waiting for cheap parts to come up and making use of the gear at work that's available to me. I wright it off as being "essential for my apprenticeship" hahah

    Cheers Dan.

  4. ive got this car now.. the engine is no good to me so if someone wants it PM me. im no L series expert but i think its an actual turbo block.. it has an oil return pipe on the sump, a water feed line off a metal water pipe, and a weird banjo oil line thing in the sump plug. sump is a front bowl type too

    That's worked out kind of well for me.

    Now my parts money can go towards an SC14 supercharger to replace my crappy AC unit :)

  5. update.

    someone came to look at the car yesterday. a big enthusiast. he's pretty much going to make it the maddest C210 coupe possibly in the world and already has the parts to do it but not the shell. he'll get back to me tomorrow hopfully.

    harvo, will get you an estimate in the morning (tues). bloody public holiday up here today.

    Poor bastard :D

    All good mate, would make your life a bit easier if it went complete and getting salvaged instead of wrecked is good to I suppose.

    Cheers Dan

  6. If stripping I need the chrome trims from the bonnet and drivers side guard.

    possibly need other stuff as well, maybe?

    Bummer, thought about moving?

    Cheers Dan

    Sorry mate, only need the chrome trims off of the D/S guard/bonnet.

    Whats the gauge cluster like, everything work/decent condition?

    The plastic trim that houses the aerial on drivers side a pillar?

    Condition of the grill/headlight surrounds?

    Fuel cap and key?

    Price for packaged and posted to Lithgow, NSW, 2790 thanks.

    Cheers Dan

  7. how are they 'machinable' from +-0 to -8 offset? that's making them sit 8mm further out, thus requiring more metal, not less.

    My understanding was it's measured from the inside edge to mounting surface of the rim. So removing 8mm would bring the wheel in -8? but I'm no expert just going off what I've been reading.

    Available in any stud pattern too.

    Cheers Dan

  8. Have you checked all of your earth connections/terminals are tight and clean.

    I had a similar issue and it turned out to be the earth lead had come loose inside the terminal where it bolts to the chassis.

    Cheers Dan

  9. Nice rims man (and car :()

    Make life easy mate and go the Hilux/Landcruiser calipers. I wouldn't use anything off a Holden especially brakes :)

    There's a pair of recoed Hilux calipers on eBay at the moment, but $350's a bit steep. I got a pair for $50 in good nick but your right they are heavy bastards.

    How did you go straightening out your rims?
