Hey will. She came from way back upper natone. Also unfortunately she isn't PMG. Its just some daggy paint previous owners put on it. Thats long gone now. I'm having a trouble with my camera so I cant post pics. I have got rid of the daggy paint and had about 200 attempts to start her. I will be dropping the engine tomorrow night. Eventually a full rebuild.
BTW Thanks H!
More pics soon 😏

Sorry about the poor quality, Were taken on the video camera.
I took the carby off for a good clean out, I was suspicious of the needle and seat but all was good.

Rebuilt the stromberg carby and got it on.
Runs beautifully now 😀
Yes the fuel lines look dicky, They are only temporary lol.
I wanted to see how it ran with the carby before I spend a fortune on stainless lines.

My dad recently bought a low-light without knowing it,it wasn't until we had a look around that we discovered it was a lowlight.
if i remember i will put some pictures up.

Hey Thanks mate, I think I do to 😂
lol serious? Did it have a later front end? Good to hear the families getting into kombis.
Yes its a beautiful place. I live up the north West, in a small beach town called somerset.
Where abouts did you live?
Just stripped down the 1600, Found broken tinware and a very dodgy extractor system.
Ill post up the pics in a minute.

Well,when we had a look around on forums and stuff
we recognized it by the indicators being below the headlights and i big rap-around bullbar with step.I dont know how else to tell them apart really.
Because they are not really stamp as lowlight its just a nickname isnt it? Oh ok we lived on the west coast in Queenstown.
Cheers

yes the indicator really are easiest way of telling. Also just litltle things like the dash.
Pre 72 Lowlights will have the small oval splitty taillights.

Joels72Lowlight ·
Yes there are a few signs.
Mine is a 73. First year of the indicators on the grill.

Engine just about finished. Still need to do the timing and make up some decent fuel lines.
Also a detail is on the books.
Got a bit carried away on the photos 😎

like i said before,here is my dad's 72 lowlight that he recently bought.Needs work and at the moment is stripped ready for (HOPEFULLY) a respray and panel beat.
Joels72Lowlight ·
(other than the front) looks fairly straight!
The 1600 looks exactly like mine did. All dirty except for the carby haha 🙂
I wish I could get my dad into kombis haha

.So you think its a 1600 ha? yeah the engine number has changed so we cant really tell.I know from my small experience its too small for a 2.0 and 1700 and too big for a 1500 so i reckon its 1600.lol.
He wants to get it fully rebuilt.

Well its definitely not an 1800 1700 or 2000. They are a completely different shape.
What does it say on the back of the carby? A 1600 uses a 34 Pict 3 Carb. Although it could've been changed over the years. Its still a good indication.
