What needs to be done:

 

* Engine Swap

* Roof lining has collapsed at the rear

* Dented Passenger door

* Both front guards have dents/ripples

* Hinges dropped on both front doors

So who from Adelaide wants to give me a hand to swap the engine?

 

Cheers

Depends entirely on your suburban location.

Well, I'll see if I need to swap it first. Gonna have a play with it tomorrow.

Just picked up the car trailer tonight.

 

Will get some happy snaps when i pick it up tomorrow :locked:

Cool stuff :locked: Can't wait!

Update *1*

 

Ok, i've got the car home. I managed to get it started and drive it onto the trailer so no winching required and it started first pop when i took it off the trailer, running on 2 and sometimes 3 cylinders.

 

Anyway, i drive it into the driveway and pop the bonnet. Check all the leads and distributor cap and notice cylinders 3 & 4 arent firing and that the dizzy contact points are corroded and the rotor button is dirty. So i clean up the rotor button.

 

So, i start it up and it starts running on 3, so i pull the choke out and it sounds like its running on 3 all the time so i give it a rev and voila, its running on all 4.

 

I check the radiator, No oil in the water. Check the oil cap, its not milky.

 

Go around to a mates shed and degrease the engine and pull the leads off the dizzy. Number 4 lead is stuck in the dizzy. So i pull it out and its corroded heaps in there.

 

So yes Valandor, it was an electrical problem.

 

It needs a tune and tappets adjusted but other than that its all sweet.

 

Pics will be up later tonight.

And now for the pics.....

 

Bastard i wanted this pano but i live in nsw.. :D

 

Very nice man, great to hear the 3K is alive and well :jamie:

haha. I thought you would've got in before me :jamie:

 

Needs a bit of work though. Gonna drive it around for a week before i start doing anything major to it.
