My Rides since digital photography

I figure the premis behind this forum is solid but it lacks content (its only new so thats cool) but inorder for it not to become a ghost town it needs it and sooner rather than later,

Come on guys (as a colective) you all go to events & or have rides, post the bugers up and see this place grow.

heres some of the cars Ive built some for me 1 for my relows, I have plenty more but not on this computer

My ZC

Just a mild cruzer, 351, C4 9" with Bench seat and colomn shift



I found some more photos on my computer (thank god, Bec never found out I lost them all)








Hew / Kid, what the hell happend the other night? how did this bloody Fairlane come up in conversation, I thought I was over the trouble i was in for selling her :roll: Next thing I know we're at Micks place Hew Mick and I are in the Kitchen the girls are in the lounge BAAM! the topic comes up and I'm in all sorts of trouble again. I tried asking how the subject came up of the 'Black Car' and all I got was a shrug of her sholders and a inocent I dont know it just did.

The EJ I built for my brother in law

RB30, 5spd, LSD BTR axel







The current project
37 Chev Jag IFS IRS Holden V8 Auto

I like the ej wagon ...Very nice..Cheers Mark

yea I quite enjoyed it, pitty the guy it was built for didnt appreceat it and traded it on a 86 Subaru leone Go figure

HE DID WHAT...WTF was he thinking..Cheers Mark

it was his to do with has he pleased, my only beef is it wasnt offered to me for the same price as he traded it for, I could have picked up a few $$$$$$

In regards to that EJ wagon you mentioned it had a BTR axle? and RB30 mill what are they? are they an approved swap & how hard are they to do? and does one have to convert to a R&P etc.
Are conversion parts available i.e. engine gearbox mounts and how does it all SOUND, like does it have a decent note to it all.

..Mike / Yeti ?

It took how long? Mud flap was a nick name given to me when I was a first year cause I cracked the sads when I was given mudflaps to fit unfortunatly it stuck and there are still people that call me by that name 20 years on

Sorry Harry I didnt reply I saw it when you posted but got side tracked.

The entire drive line came out of a VL Commodoore enging Trans, Diff rear brakes, front discs wireing harness ECU the lot, its pretty much just a lego car as all the conversion bits got via mail ordered by the owner from CRS
