As the title of the photo suggest it is a Mazda Roadpacer. Yes believe it or not, they made Kingswoods here and shipped them to Japan where they fitted 12A rotaries ....stupidest move ever, but they are worth a mint if you could find an original one.

He may be at a point where he is too embaressed to contact you Craig,

Just do it man - You don't have to be 'happy family' with him - but atleast you will have no regrets in formally meeting your blood father. Imo you got nothing to loose and everything to gain in just 'meeting him'. Like I said, you don't need to be happy family but atleast give it a go.

very solid advice IMHO...goodluck with it Craig

I've heard of the kingsy with a 12A in them,

Imagine that tourqueless poor little 12A trying to tug along a frame of a kingswood lol

theres a couple of jackie chan movies from the early 90s/late 80s that has a bunch of kingswoods in them... i pissed myself laughing when i saw them in a 'high speed chase' (well actually the coke came out thru my nose but u get the idea)

lol Cheers guys,

Its sure is coming along slowly. Basically once my mate has done all the welding its time to get it rolling for Lance walker to make up a sick roll cage for it, then onto paint.

Main parts now is coilovers, brakes and dog box, then possibly a cf tailshaft, billet driveshafts, then focus on interior.

Answer my PM on NS, f4g!

Don't put it off for too long though cause I buried my Dad 4 days ago and you don't ever want to leave things unsaid or unresolved.

      Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery

      The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.

      Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.

      Front facing Intercooler

      In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
