Ash offered one the previous page, and if he's too far/not able to, I have one as well available.

-Jordan-

That will teach me for trying to read on my phone - completely missed his post. I'll check with Ash as he's actually up around my way. If it doesn't work out I'll be sure to PM you though, cheers!




Will send a PM now. Not for the BBC though - picked up a 351 / gearbox for the XB which I have to go pickup and put in. Should make things more fun for the 'daily' driver.

Can bring those headers along if you still wanted them too?

DeadSled

You can buy them cheaper than that from Glenfords.. Mine was around $230 or something, 5 ton. Nathan can vouch for it.

Anchor

Resisting..... Urge.....

Monaro454

lol.... no, the crane from glenfords would NOT be period correct.

CAM-327

Fuck, what did they use back in the 20's?

Monaro454

fishing rods.

clutch-monkey

friend has one from www2, it's not hydraulic it's like a screw thing? i don't know the terminology, deadsled probably would

75 KINGSWOOD

block & tackle ?

74QEE

Worm drive i beleive, fuck, that would be difficult if you needed to get it up/down in a hurry.

74QEE

Your engine crane is fucked because its spent its entire life out in the rain, along with the collection of other various Deusenberg parts youve hoarded.

DeadSled

Jay, please go die in a fucking fire.

The rest of you, grow the fuck up. Seriously..

74QEE

fucking quoted!!!!!!!

74QEE

Love my new sig <3

DeadSled

For what its worth since none of you seem to be able to grasp the concept. My whole period correctness is purely a styling thing, has nothing to do with tools or anything else. I don't know how none of you can get it.

74QEE

We all know that you fucking gimp. We all pay you out because you get soooooooooooooo fucking upset over it.if you didnt get your g string and such a twist it wouldnt have started in the first place, but because you make a big song and dance and think every comment made about period correctness is a personal attack, we keep going,

I find it hilerious, just like leaving 100+ voicemails on your phone, calling you 70+ times in an hour and leaving well over 100 photo comments on facebook, not to mention telling you i stole your car parts, which i wouldnt do, i work for what i need, not that you would know...fuck dont even get me started. You got so upset over that you had to get your girlfriend to text me, was it because the tears were making the phone slip out of your hand? Get a set of balls and man the fuck up.

/rant.

Sorry Ben, it had to be said, please dont ban me again

VersionR

Someone needs a raincoat made out of duck feathers

no more holdens

Ill throw my two bobs in the pot
Maybe JUST maybe stop telling people how to build their CARS
Fuk this period correctness shit (reading all your posts on ozrodders, youve rustled a few on there about it as well)
IF and WHEN you can BUILD something thats better, faster,shinier or even period correct (or ACCURATE to a period) then and only then can you comment and tell people what the FUK they can or cant do

Most of us have been working on cars way before you were a tinkle in your dads eyes

Monaro454

agreed.

build your car however you like. your opinionated outbursts and rants do nobody any favours.

oh... and don't tell me to grow up.


I'm working hard on growing out.

lil_bobby_260

Swish!!! and THATS the game....
Piss off deadsled. Youve pissed everyone off too many times.

FATTIE

I'll play Devils advocate here guys,

Just let the old shit die,

Lets just move on, your starting to act like mob of school yard bullies..

AND everyone can have a view on how to build YOUR car, but YOU build your car so everyone else's view is mute.

This is why I won't join a car club, all the bitchy little clicks, one who wants period correct and the other guys who drop V8's in GTR Toranas cause its THEIR car.


on the other flip, I dont like someone telling me what to put on my cars, especially backyard experts that have never finished a car in their lives,


so the moral of all this,

EVERYONE MOVE ON, IT'S GETTING BORING.

OLSKOOL64

As above, I too was getting well and truly sick of his post's about his shit cars that will never be finished, but it is time to just let him slide into oblivion where he belongs.

75 KINGSWOOD

..........My favorite build threads is Littlebobby's, He gets his shit done. Fucking legend

74QEE

Hey im pretty good too!! so is clutch monkey, hes been busy!

75 KINGSWOOD

You and clutch monkey havegreat builds but im not a fan of British cars and your gay so hence the reason i like bobby's builds

lil_bobby_260

So how come im not in your SIG!??? HMMM???? hahaha....
Did a bit of work on the missus' valiant today... coming along nicely. Sandblasting engine bay and engine tomorrow. Good times. GOt it all pulled apart and ready but iphone went in the pool so dont have any photos... will put some up tomorrow.
ALSO!!!!
The GALAXIE should have a new engine in it within the next couple of weeeeeeeks.... 460 big block baby - from a lincoln, not an aussi F-truck. There is a HUGE HP difference in the lincoln 460's favour over the aussie ones so im looking forward to that. Should be more grunty than the 351 it had, at least!
Speaking of that 351, now my clutch for clip has arrived from the states i will be bolting it up to the toploader gearbox and fitting it to my XB shortly. Tomorrow, once valiant bay is done, might have some time (and sand?) left over to do the engine bay in the XB...?? Possibly. Missus paid for the sand she is reminding me while reading over my shoulder lol.... I havent told her my LABOUR FEES FOR WORKING ON HER VALIANT YET.....
(in bold to make sure she can read it.)
((she has just said something about sex so i guess i should shut up))

75 KINGSWOOD

haha good work

no more holdens

Theres probably a few lads on here to young to know what ya mean !!!

So maybe for those, your goin to the naughty room, cause your a naughty little boy

Bad Boy , bad boy !!!

NOS440

and there are those of us on here who have fond memories of it as well

lil_bobby_260

I think she was making a point of please her or errmmm... please oneself. If you get my meaning.


Haha really? Married, eh...? haha...

Continuing with the sandblasting. This car is gonna look weird at the test and tune... an old stripped out CM rust bucket, looking completely standard and cream coloured, but pop the bonnet and the thing is immaculate and plastered with welded alloy sheetmetal, ceramic coated alloy, braided line and heat wrapped extractors with big fat MSD leads and coil and such haha... Bit of a sleeper...? except for the widened 14x8 rears with 245s i guess.

clutch-monkey

noticed acid powder residue around the battery area today. any tips on what to wash it out with? was hesitant about charging in there with the hose

Mr Zed

Some boiling water poured over the acid trace will work, then hose it out. Probably wouldn't hurt to get some cold galvanise/killrust type product and paint it over the bare metal area once it's dry

lil_bobby_260

This.

DeadSled

CAM-327

Pallets aren't stacked period correct.
