ke20nut - can't reply to your PM as you have elected to not receive PM's apparently

I agree its score of the year.. buggered if I know where I am storing it yet, but one problem at a time hehe.

 

i may be able to help out with the storage side of things :y:

 

even at a reasonable rate :hammer:

i want it want it i want it, lol looks awsome plz keep it original

you sir now own my most favorite car on this forum!

 

i know this is going to be an amazing build!

wash and polish, I want to see how she spruces up.

 

Magic score. Was it advertised?

No didn't come up on ads... found it though "connections" :hammer:

Nice find, will be good to see it once you have cleaned the good inch deep layer of dust from it.

 

I reckon it will come up quite nice underneath all that :hammer:

As you will have gathered from my Toymods posts, I am insanely jealous.

 

This is one of those pickups that you dream about, but they never happen.

 

Look forward to seeing it in time.

Update - this thing is amazing!

 

New battery, a little bit of "Start Ya Bastard" down the carby throats and she fired up.

 

Idles perfectly and in a quick run around the block seems to purr like a kitten. No coughs or hiccups!

 

Brakes are dodgy, but that could be just me forgetting about lack of vacuum assistance.

 

Home tomorrow on a tow truck, and then we can get into the clean up :hammer:

When I got my 15 my master brake cyclinder had gunked up and I got it recoed for $140 all new EVERYTHING on it really.

 

Also K-B motors from factory have a larger cam in them they do get up and boggie nicely for a K motor..lol

 

Cameron

This is one of those dream finds! Do a full detail on it and leave it as it is!!

 

can't wait to see pics of it cleaned up... Looks museum worthy.

 

Scott.

Just was looking and noticed your seats don't have head rests. But do they have holes for them to be installed sticking out the top?

 

Cameron

Yes they do have holes in them for the head rests, with little plugs in the holes.

OK K engine gurus.. rollaclub diagnostic services required.

 

As tow truck drivers were dicking me about, I took the challenge and decided to drive this little beast back to work where it will be living for a little while.

 

Started and purred away and let it idle to warm up while I organised a vicroads temp rego. Drove away no real dramas though I think the rear brakes are seized-ish.

 

However after only a kay or so the oil smoke cloud behind me was pretty nasty, and power dropped right off. So i decided I didn't want to toast it, pulled over, called another towie and came back on the back of a flat bed.

 

When it got back here, it started up fine, no real smoke cloud, and no horrible noises from the engine - in fact the boys here commented on how quiet it is.

 

So any ideas what would cause a drop off in power and lots of blue smoke when the engine is warm and under load??
