scummy

G,day , you say it was easier to go for a walk when you had the dog and now you gota force yourself ,well if you dont want to get another dog just borrow the neigbours dog ? Soda drinks do put it on ya , i gave up coke and lost weight ! Congrats on the loss .

This is me last year at the dubbo vintage truck show ,me and big pete . ]

Does this mean that we have the rights to track down the said church and fill the place with cars and bikes and have a party whilst they have their church service ! R.I.P. Cpl Turner .

G,day , built this when it was released all those years ago .

Built this many moons ago , put the front axle above the springs to put it down in the weeds . Cut out the grille area for better air flow . Plumbed the engine with braided lines and yellow engine leads with black plug covers .

$5.00 bucks for smokes !!!!!!!!!!! In australia you pay five bucks for a lighter ! Your lucky to get change outa 20 bucks for a pack , dirty stinking habbit .

Geez ,the buyer must not be married ! i know where my mrs would put it if i said looky what i got for $999.THEN THE FIGHT STARTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

G,day , i got a real good mate who will sell them for my wife as we got a few grubby dealers here in oz who buy next to nuthin and sell for mega!They even got scouts who buy for them , my mate said , "What if i die before you ?" I never thought of that !Bugger back to the drawing board .

Gday ,you could use the body from the mpc tilt front 57, it looks close to it .

G,day mate , the only thing i've heard is to put it in the freezer for a couple of days and it should shrink the glue and its easier to remove .

Mega tuff looking wrecker !Very nice .

Argh morries , i used to play and street race these in the 70's and even now its parked beside the garage rotting away . You "could" use the motor out of the mini but you'd have to cut the block from where the gearbox meets the block and scratch build a sump . Now the gearboxs they were bloody huge , when i first pulled it out it looked as big as the road ranger gearbox in the semi trailer i drove at night ,i really dont know what you can substitute for that .It was bolted to the bell housing and went roughly half way up the middle of the car, maybe a sprite gearbox as whats in mine . The diff was the usual bolt to floor , via normal springs and shackled to the body . The front suspension was a torsion bar setup that was bolted to a welded to the body cross member half up the floor , and then bolted at the front lower control arm .The cross member also had the tailshaft go through it as well . If it helps , some of the guys here in sydney put datsun 1200 motors and gearboxs in them until the DMV caught on and said you needed engineers cert as morrie had 1000 motor and dato was a 1200 . The wheels were bigger than minis so you cant use those , factory four stud. Any way thats all i can remember at the moment that maybe able to help you .

G,day mate , you'll have to scrounge through very old second hand book shops and swap meets for the magazine , from memory those photo's are from the movie "HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS ".I remember the car as it was the ants pants of the time . Cheer's scummy .

G,day , i can remember years ago both MCM & SA magazines used to get someone from the three main model companys and shoot questions at them , and they would tell their stories .

Very detailed and wild rig , would hate to have to turn her around

Done , card WILL be sent tommorrow (friday 28th jan )just like that ,easy . Come on people if i can send card from oz you can do it too.

Love the car ! Love the colour ! Being 51 and old school , don't go much on the low prof tyres . In the end it's a great model , good work .

I stopped buying SA not long after the new ownership because of poor content and less pages , and NEVER missed it . I only stop buying MCM when local model shop wanted $20 bucks a copy , and missed it since ! Yer i hear ya i just might subscribe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When the postman comes to your place ?

Great ! one van and two flat decks ?

Mate , road trains are pushed for time so unless you know someone in the industry there's no chance of you getting in one .The two trailer road trains start at a town called dubbo and head out west, then they turn right at nyngan head out to bourke and hook up the third trailer and then north-north west to the outback .Now if you go out to one of the companys in the alice ,( springs ) you MAY get to sit in one and just maybe get a ride if you are a trucker from where you are ? Australian truckies don't have alot of time to drive people around so we arnt rude just very busy .Hope this puts some light on your question mate ,cheer's mark , (scummy).
