Lucky PBB has a zoom tube, though it'll be a tight squeeze. Secret to her smooth belly is in the body wax. :P

Thought you might find this info on the type 3 auto interesting
http://www.shoptalkforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=35067&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=2c3a774f4537699168fe8bfe82fba656
if you intend going down the subaru route.
They seem to be a very strong unit (Borg Warner design), from what I've read the main things to watch out for are
1 Flex plate coming lose and being damaged
2 Mixing of the diff and transmission oils ( instant death) . Seal between diff and gearbox should be replace every 7 years or 70 000 miles
3 Spider gear clearance in the diff should be checked
4 Wear on oil pump spline
5 Don't forget the diff is a seperate unit to the transmission and some failures have be caused by lack of oil in the diff.

Just realized that sounded a bit negative, but as I want to put a type 3 auto in my manx so I've been doing some research. Forewarned if forearmed , lets you know what to check to avoid trouble before it happens.

Well! :P
At 8:22pm on 31st May 2006 'Retro' the Fasty arrived, one week earlier than his due date! 😁
He arrived by forceps delivery, but is safe and sound. He cried a little bit when being taken to his snuggy bed, but now he's fast asleep. He will need a big drink of petrol when he wakes up...
... but look at his cute 'lil face!! 😂
I'd take more photos but I can't feel my hands or feet... it's freeeeezing outside. Wait 'til you hear about the horribly painful labour, but 'Retro' was/is so worth it! I called Steve from Showtime (thanx to the positive plug someone posted on AVD a little while ago) to pick up the car in Adelaide and bring him to me in Melb.... but Steve told some other carrier guy to pick it up (not happy Jan), and a week early. So it wasn't the trusted Steve who came, it was Tony. Well... I won't say much more except talk about the mother-of-all-mullet hairdoos! :duh Tony has been on the phone to me atleast 15 times since 4pm, telling me my correct directions weren't right, then it turned out they were right (I wasn't a co-driver in car rallying for nothing!) so he finally found my place but decided to unload Retro halfway down the street opposite. A Hilux 4WD with no keys at all had to be rolled off the truck first, then my Fasty came off (yay!) and then the 4WD was winched back on.... all of this happened in the dark mind you as Tony didn't want to park near street lights? I put up with his queries as to if I'm a nice girl, and am I worth the effort he'd gone to driving from Adelaide to Melb (wish my Eden had of been here for the delivery... 😢)
You think Tony would have known what he was doing since it's his job to drive a truck throughout Oz and when the best time is to drive through a city, certainly not peak hour! 🙄
So after freezing my butt off outside for an hour while he casually unloaded the cars, I finally have a new baby to pamper. Being the snap-happy child that I am, there will be LOTS of pics of his progress from grubby toddler to a handsome young man. He won't be anything special to most of you, but to me he will be a sweetie and will be much loved.

Enjoy it! I was a bit slow after my original thread that discovered this car. My wife analyses things too much....
I'm sure that your new little man will be cared for well and give you many smiles. One day you'll have to drive him back to Adelaide and perhaps meet Boris the rat! After all, 'Retro' was nearly his brother.
Congratulations!!!

Thanx Squiz!
Hahaha, PBB looked funny 'pregnant'... damn I was tired when I did that!
Anyway boristherat, who knows... one day I might just trek over to Adelaide. 😉
PBB gets back from hospital today (she spent yesterday at the mechanics having a few things fixed and her tubes tied! LOL) 😂
