She wants something old school, she wants white, four door and RHD but as times running out she will consider anything. Located on the Gold Coast, from biggera waters to Arundel golf club if i remember correctly (about 10 min drive) and time for photo with the car. She will pay for fuel and your time. Just for her and her date. Any help would be fantastic as its only 4 weeks away or so! Pm me if you can help Thanks guys Hmm i got a big white Galaxie that should be done within 4 weeks haha... |

Phill Only show I was really keen on putting the car in as my mates club was running it, plus I could drop it off at 6 and pick it up at 3 seeing as I only live couple of k's down the road. Looks soooooo much better without the lines running over the inner guard/fabbed covers. Will put a pic up when I fit the new pump as its still on the hoist at mates shed. |

Had a Charger lined up to buy, got the money ready and everything and the guy bailed on me. :headwall: QUOTE (magna_TE @ Aug 8 2010, 04:38 PM) Edit- I know there is a formal ride section, but there is shit all in it.

My car is old / white / 4 door and RHD, but I wouldn't really call it show worthy. I'd definitely look at getting something else first. |

Got a 37 Studebaker lined up now, its her dates best mates dads car, so i think they get the use of it for free. Plus its white, 4 door and RHD. Plus the reverse rear doors will be great to get some cool photos. As far as i know its all a go with this car but will be good to have a back up. BTW she liked the moon caps the most on your car, not so much the 22's. Im the opposite, like the 22's but not so much the moon caps, But still this the normal hubcaps take the cake. |

Gal isnt going lol... havent touched it for a few weeks. Well not since stripping down the motor anyway - im just waiting on the engine to come back from Auster Engines, as well as some info from them on what size pistons and rings i need, or whether i can just reuse my pistons with new rings if it didnt need to cop much of a bore job. |

Well ive got a grand deposit from the guy, with the rest to come on friday when he picks the car up. Im just prepping the engine bay for the motor, really, and trying to decide what to do gearbox wise. Tempted to just but one of the reco'd ones shops sell on ebay - $1100 for a reco'd and shift kitted box, with a reco'd standard stally, but they all have the option to lift the stall rating for a fee. |

I can't wait for friday. Day off and if the weather is good, i'll be taking the Prem out for a spin. Just had a internal reg alternator fitted, got sick of the old ext reg type letting the battery go flat after sitting for a few days. Sucks seeing her sit in the garage day after day not doing anything. |

Just pushed the commo out backwards to clean the floor... what a mess. Got it all MOSTLY cleaned up but the concrete is now nice and dark and shiny... and slippery as hell. Whats a good cleaner to get rid of that shit? its just smooth concrete. I just want to be able to throw something down on it, and hose it out. Suggestions? |

Also try some kitty litter over the top and brush it in, use some degreaser if need be but I find degreaser sometimes leaves its own residue which is slippery as well. QUOTE (GTS454 @ Aug 11 2010, 09:08 PM) lol bobby... real smooth at the moment. try hydrochloric acid, will sort that right out for you. make sure you have a high pressure water blaster thingy too, brush the acid into the surface and blast it off after a couple of minutes. should work. anyways... fridee night I take the old girl out for a spin. went to TPC at Lawnton for a look at some old cars and a mate came along. Mate has an 2nd gen camaro with basically the same motor, 454+30, 580 thou lift cam, 10.?-1 comp, decent heads and big stalls... the only difference is that mine goes like stink and his sorta doesn't!! so I gave it a quick stab, as he hadn't been in it since I put on the big zorst... I was a bit upset cos it didn't smoke em (was doing 70 in top gear in a 70 zone) so I pulled for fuel. put fuel in and took off up the street... gave it the berries for a little bit and BANG!!!! clang, clang, clang.... I said wow, what the hell was that? mate said, "sounds like it is in the sump" and I went nah, sounds like the fan belt blew apart. rolled to a stop (outside TPC) and popped the bonnet, belt was fine, no holes in the block, checked the dizzy... cap is just perched on top instead of being clamped down. remove 4 plug leads and lift up cap. clink, cling, tinkle.... look under the car and find a screw on the ground.... look inside the dizzy and find the rotor button (which is held in with 2 screws on MSD dizzy's) had worked 1 screw loose and smashed itself apart inside the cap!! lucky I was where I was... 5 minutes later and it is running again!! after the meet-up, drive it home and it is going better than it was! now I need a new rotor button and it smashed around in there so hard that the cap is paper thin in some parts and you can see light through it! I LOVE Big Blocks!!!!!!!!!! Damn man, that was pretty lucky. Out of curiosity being paper thin would that potentially be able to short the spark outside the cap? QUOTE (lil_bobby_260 @ Aug 12 2010, 08:24 AM) 25 today mofos! Be nice to me! Im old! Happy Non Dead Day champ
