have these bits waiting to go in,need ta find someone ta fit them,anyone handy with the spanners?? :blinks:

heres my other toys...

 

Wow nice little collection there John! I like the pano

 

Have you got bearings for the coilovers? Might be easier to put the hubs and brakes on with them out of the car.

I reckon you can do it :blinks: . Even if you put up a thread, take it step by step, with photos, people will help you out.

Then others will have a guide too :lol:

 

I think a rollaclub event is due soon... I'm thinking sunday 11th?

cheers man,i'll put up a few more pics of the panno later,has a nice few mods,i wish i had it here in oz!

 

i have no tools at all,plus this is my daily so need the bits all put in in one day!anyone do jobs in the evening or whatever for cash??or beer?!

 

event sounds good,I'm up for it anyway..

Welcome!!!

 

Would be over the moon to have you come along to the cruise!

 

Nice rides!

Welcome John,

Beautiful little wagon!! I love those. :lol: Be nice to meet up when I get mine on the road. Not nearly as neat as yours.

 

And I just destroyed the center console putting in a few bits and pieces :blinks: It was too brittle for the trim I need to do :blinks: .

 

Still no luck in getting mine running at the moment :blinks:

 

So cheers and Welcome

If autopro or one of those places can't sort you out, there is a bearing shop opposite specialty fasteners in fyshwick (I think)

Yes, there should be an inner and outer

 

Some nice gear in your panno! looks like fun :lol:

Johnie,

Also speak to Andrew or Ray at NSW Bearing Supplies in Mitchell 6255-5422. Hoskins st opposite the back side of the cemetery. I used to work for him in Sydney and then after I left he moved back home to Canberra and opened the branch here. Great guy and really knows and loves his cars. (Races a charade in Rally)

 

Tell him Ben sent you in and that he should look after you for knowing such a bastard!! And that goes for anyone else.

 

Cheers

Ben
