    Needs a 50/90 cam and a 4spd manual.


    Seriously though, I have a 4spd for sale if your son is interested? PM me.

    Unfortunately he has a buggered left knee that pops occasionally & we hunted high n low to get the 3 on the tree.

    Otherwise would've been all over your 4 speed in a flash !

    Cheers for thinking of him though. smile.gif

    Sweet starting point man, let us know if you need anything as i have quite a few bits and pieces, need any help, just ask, quite a few of us in pre-85 are lucky enough to own kingswoods.

    considering the comment you made tornanananananramamnan in the pre 85 section about kingswood owners i am suprised you/your son have one.

    aren't they the car you have when you can't afford a decent one?

    Well... That was directed because of the rib poke 74QEE made @ the Sillycar - He's taken no offense as none was intended tongue.gif

    Update already !

    Got lowered (not silly low) springs lined up + extractors.

    I hope for the moment he keeps stock exhaust as it's verwy verwy quiet..

    shhhh... I'm hwunting Towanas... (In best Elma Fudd voice) wink.gif

    80% of the bogging is done, doors really need the flick but that'll be over the next month.

    I can weld with oxy like a pro BUT lower lumbar disc blew out Saturday 2 weeks ago.

    Not up to much ATM except for telling him what to do - LOL

    Sometime soon in the future I'll either do the deed with steel or he can pay a proffessional person.

    This is just RWC quickie fix, all mechanicals are 100% but ya gotta do what ya gotta do !

    Home made 3 ply job by previous owner (ugly as sin) but holds an iPhone excellently! thumbsup.gif

    Getting the flick as soon as a suitable GTS/whatever replacement can be found.

    Got a panel beater/spray painter friend all lined up to give it a lick of paint on the Gold Coast ASAP.

    Son wants to go a darker blue but I'm advising sticking with the Cyan blue as currently I'm not up to helping

    dent chase & the darker colour will show every imperfection !

    I think the tailgate is a nice enough colour + GLOSS will do for now.

    $68 for 2 litres of acrylic & I've got 20 litres of thinners already should do the trick for 6 months

    until he tracks down some rust free doors & saves for a professional metal job instead of bog.
