rust?

[spln12]

Tiny bit around rear wheel arches, not any holes yet just surface

[B.L.Z.BUB]

Nice, pity its an auto but still, nice. :y:

[spln12]

Thanks man :cool:

 

Yeh pretty annoyed about that, ill convert it to 5 speed when its registerd..

 

What gear box's fit in these?

[B.L.Z.BUB]

T40 or T50, its a big(ish) job.

 

Gear box, clutch master, pedal box etc etc.

 

EDIT: W boxes will fit but you will need the right bell housing and it'd be overkill

Nothing wrong with overkill, Reed. Playing it safe never hurt. :P

W series boxes are easier to find than T50's in good condition. From my experience anyway. My last T50 took me a fair while to find, my W series took one phone call.

I couldn't find any T50's semi locally this time around (or any other conversion gear) so W series it is.

Overkill? Yes. Absolutely necessary? No. Relatively easy and makes for a way quicker process? Yes (for me anyway)

 

:D

That looks neat, I remember seeing the other thread where you had it sitting under a tree.

Definite improvement, so are you retianing the original plates? Even though the rego has been out for so long time it should still be okay to re register with that combination. It may cost a few $$ more but it should be so-able..

 

Good to see its gone to a r.c member?

Where abouts in Melbourne are you?

[spln12]

Yeh ill just wait untill a T50 comes up..

 

I picked it up pretty cheap, It didnt run just a carby problem :dance:

 

Cheers ben, yeh thought id start a new one with better photos.

I'm gunna keep the original plates, came with Factory venetians aswell..

 

Located in bayswater mate

[Willis]

You'll easily find one down there.

HEY MATE congratulations on finding such a clean csx , original low kilometer examples like yours are VERY HARD to come by nowdays i know becouse ive been looking for some time now . Personally i would not modify it in anyway that i could never return to original. May i ask what you picked this gem up for ?

[spln12]

Thanks alot man, I'm wrapped with it, gave it a quick polish still has original paint.

 

I'm gunna leave it standard for the moment, i was so happy it had the books and paper work :cool:

 

 

The family wanted $500, but i couldn't pay that much for a car that didn't run.. so i got it for $350

 

:dance:

Bit of an update!

 

Went to the wreckers today picked up a carby and indercator lense for 50 bucks..

Also got a new battery and a Sony MP3/USB/AUX/BLUETOOTH head unit, and kenwood splits..

 

Any one wanna buy an original tape player from the AE? haha

 

Cheers Brayden :rolls:

Looks good mate, hope to see it out and about when you get it back on the road.
