I can just have yours? You're too kind!

To be honest I only use it as a daily now and will be selling it soon enough, I don't have enough time to drive to warrant two muscle cars. If I can sell it anyway, still fixing up half the dodgey shit that guy did (or rather didn't) do to it.




ohhhhh, I didn't even realise it was you! haha. I should have guessed by the name. How's it going?

Thinking about my options with it now, I've still got a few parts on their way currently so I'll atleast wait til I put all of them in. As nice as it is (you know I love that thing), I would probably be chasing something a little less common than Monaros / Camaros.

69 Dodge Charger R/T is up the top of the list at the moment




Do want.






ps. hayabusa would be so worth it. Your household needs a fast car anyway...

Anchor

Just don't buy a nova... Heh

GTRVspec95

Took the bogan out today to the Auto Spectacular at Willowbank ... we drool on second gen Camaro's ... that is all

HSV

Some very very nice vehicles out there today, and Asia heard his first Top Fueler running..........

clutch-monkey

so many cars when i first pulled in.. was a great event. the swap/sale section was shit though.

GTRVspec95

You didn't happen to go in an early model Porsche in a champagne colour ?

clutch-monkey

no i parked a row in front of it in my honda though (took whole family so no p-car).

Monaro454

deposit should be in my account tomorrow arvo for the Monaro.... off to Victoria.

HSV

Sad day man, but what you wanted

Monaro454

all good in my eyes Ben, stuff happened lately and just got me thinking. too much time spent on trivial things..... cars aren't that important in the scheme of things and I felt I had too much of who I am caught up in it.

am looking for an HQ daily right now, have my eye on something so will see how I go, still have that rebuilt injected motor here to throw in something.

if anybody knows of an HQ sedan that is in good nick bodywise give me a hoi will yas.......

jebby88

I think Warney had a decent HQ for sale on here

Monaro454

think you will find that is me who has one for sale.... just don't want to waste the time fixing them up any more.

jebby88

Oh sorry it was you that i was thinking of, why not pay some else to fix the brown Hq or does it still have alot of work to be done

Monaro454

I have had enough and couldn't be bothered with big builds any more... just found a cracking HQ wagon though. chatting to it's original owner today.... it is just mind-bogglingly stock and factory fresh. couple of bits of rust and thats about it. interior is 1974 original and just about perfect!

will give him a call tomoz and try to strike a deal. have an injected 202 that needs a home for my daily driver.

nightcrawler

sounds like you have found the HQ version of the HX wagon I have just brought , stock as a rock and no rust to be found anywhere . Had many HQ/HZ's over the years but this ones got real potential .

clutch-monkey

got my wheels back.. looks pretty good imo

wbtonner

Widened?.....

jebby88

Wheels look good, my old mans driving my ute around as hes sold his car and is has a lack of funds. The old girl finally got its first wash since febuary. Sadly i couldnt find my camera, i was going to put it up on members rides

Monaro454

Monaro left on a tilt tray today headed for country Victoria.

meh...... time for a change.

wbtonner

Same haha, except I wash mine most weekends even though I don't drive it.
Hopefully dad picks his new car up (300 fwkw series 2 WH Caprice) tomorrow, 2 reasons:
A) I don't like him driving my car, annoys me
B) Something new for some fun Then all I have to do is convince him to bolt a GT42r on the side for 400rwkw

jebby88

Ha i don't mind my old man driving mine, he used to be a mechanic so he'll be working on it a fair bit. I allready heard him talk about putting a set of extractors and new exhaust on it Finally got a picture but its off the phone

clutch-monkey

yeah, not by me though. i found them on the side of the road like that just had them powdercoated

HSV

Sad times but can be replaced in the future with what you want.

I'm getting the Monaro back on the road whilst I get all the shit together for the BBC conversion, Warney and Ash have most of what I need between them so it will be back out driving at least shortly.

Need to do some minor rust work and a respray me thinks, and stick the single headlight front on it at the same time.

GTRVspec95

Bourbons and prep work ?

HSV

Yep.

Pull the Stato front off, Nathan do you still want that?

Then fix the minor rust in the doors/dogleg.

jebby88

If its a HJ-HX stato front ill have it.......for FREE

wbtonner

PM your address and i'll come round mate.

HSV

Sure, you can have it for nothing, won't charge you a cent.

Vehicles parked on the street about 900m from my place, don't worry if anyone yells at you or the cops come, just tell them some random on the internet said it was fine..........



Will do.

wbtonner

Doing what you crazy mofo's do tomorrow, and until I buy another daily, drive my ute to work. 100km round trip. Will fill her up tomorrow morning then again on Tuesday morning to see how much it cost me, not looking forward to the amount haha.
My guess $33.50 haha.

DeadSled

Hahaha $33.50 Nathan? Your dreaming!

Good on you for driving it daily, at least its getting cooler so you won't be needing air con for a while.

racerphill

air con?????

...WHAT THE??!!??

You really ARE going soft Nick!

jebby88

Hey guys i got a couple of questions

I have a HJ ute and im in the process of re-upholstering the interior, i think im going to go the custom route rather than stock. My problem is that i dont want any speakers in the door skins or kick panels but i love music and defiantly want a stereo in the car.My question is would it be legal to cut a hole for the speakers in the rear wall of the cabin? That way the speakers can be hidden behind the seats.

jwebb2876

Picked up another car to replace my Scorpion, got sick of the POS Anchortron blowing head gaskets and spinning bearings every five minutes so it's going in the shed for a heart transplant. Either a properly built, destroked 2.6 on bike carbs or a 4G63T SOHC, haven't decided yet.
Anyway, said replacement for dailies is Dad's old 202 auto VC sedan. Compared to the Mitsu it handles like a supertanker, yet the extra oomph in a straight line makes up for that, if only a little.

HSV

Yes/No.

As long as you don't affect the structural integrity of the cabin by doing it.

Why not just get some slimline speaker/sub setups for behind the seat?

Or mount the speakers in a custom centre console in the middle facing outwards?

Or, get some good units for the original locations and run some small tweeters in a discreet spot.

DeadSled

I agree with Ben.

Kingswoods came factory with 6" speakers in the kick panels, so why the hell not mount them there? There is heaps of space and its easy to put them there. Why bother with mounting them elsewhere?

I know Jay has speakers mounted underneath his dash instead of in the kick panels, but then i'd imagine it'd be a pain if you had to work underneath the dash.

Just put them in the kick panels and use slim lines behind the seat, pretty easy to do.
