73' Round Verona Full Resto

[felix_666]

Holly molly, forget getting a diesel or even a hybrid, go an EARTH CAR. Parts made from 100% Australian Earth, completely environmentally friendly.

I collected about about 1/4 of a small wheelie bin full of dirt. Never seen anything like, I'm still freaking out, this maybe explain the lack of rust??

Now I'm ready for the tear down!

[felix_666]

what's the difference between them?

The Sports a Stiffer by about ~20% (different valve?) and i heard someone say that they are actually shorter (not sure about that one), definitely stiffer though, hence the shorter springs.

The HD's are better than a oem replacement but are designed as a standard shock.

Got a new toy to install today:

required some cursing and swearing, but we got there in the end

5 speed box - got to love pick a part, told them it was a 4 speed, $80 plus 30 for the drive shaft

Nice looking 5-speed!

No more place in your garage? ;-)

how will that gearbox conversion go down, bolt straight on or some little mods here and there? im looking into one myself and hopefully i could get one that cheap

[felix_666]

nah no straight swap, well worth the effort apparently though.

Newest addition to the family:

Engine runs great, box and clutch is tight, diff has been re-built, otherwise a lot of rust.

This car will be parted so for all you 02 fans let me know if there is something i can help you out with. I will generate a pdf file with all the relevant parts, but this could take me some time to getting around to doing.

Brand new battery for sale as well (about three weeks old, RACV)

Would you be willing to ship the headlights to the United States? If so, I'd be interested.

Cris

[felix_666]

yeah i could send them to the states, surely though there are some headlights available in the states?? I'll get a quote for you and work out a price.

cheers

[bingbong]

hey can you give me a price on the door handle and window mech?

[felix_666]

which side for both??

$20 for the regulator and 30 for the handle depends which side though.

The headlights would cost about AU$70 to send maybe a bit more, thats rough as i don't know how much they weigh. The headlights together would be AU$120, there in pretty good condition.

If your interested i can get some more pics, just msg me.

cheers

[bingbong]

sorry but i found some in sydney for around the same price, thanks for going to the trouble though. i might come back if i need something else which i prob will.

cheers mate

Thanks. The US cars come with completely diffrent buckets. I also would'nt mind the guage cluster and driver side door arm rest.

I need the speedo (its in Km's anyway), and the drivers arm rest would be AU$40, i'll get a pic but from memory its in good condition.
