It could do with a good lowering.


barls - October 13th, 2004 at 06:44 AM

just ignore that section of undercoat on the right rear guard as it has been painted now and is the same colour as the body. might i mention has a tuck away exhaust that still uses one of the exhaust cutouts. but bump nether the less

As much as it is a tidy car, which part of the car can you really say is modifed. And yeh it does need to be lowered.


LittleRalph - October 23rd, 2004 at 01:20 AM

Looks great. I have a friend that may be in the market so I'll ask.

On the "lowered" idea, I have the same problem. Mine is '74 and appears to have been dropped a fraction at the rear but the front seems to head skyward.

Is there a simple solution or is it an expensive "replace the whole front suspension with aftermarket stuff" job?


barls - October 23rd, 2004 at 09:16 AM

engine, seats and carby are modified

It doesn't take much to add adjusters to the front suspension...
its just the hassle of pulling everything apart..
including all the greasy torsion bars inside the front suspension and then putting it all back together....

but the front is always too high...
the rear torsion bars do settle with time... and people have been known to raise them back to the correct height...

How to lower the front end, go to bunning and buy a 40kg bag of concrete and put it in the front works great easy to adjust just remove when not needed. ha ha ha


barls - November 20th, 2004 at 02:42 PM

yeah that the right way of doing it mate


Euro_67 - November 20th, 2004 at 03:14 PM

Barls, I think I sold your dad a semi auto super a few months back ?


barls - November 20th, 2004 at 03:17 PM

was that you mate yeah he did buy one for my brother but hasnt got to it yet, still working on my baby chaos. that suto stick was a bargin and a half


Euro_67 - November 20th, 2004 at 03:45 PM

yeah but the motor was really rattly....big ends or something. I bought it without the new exhaust so you could only hear exhaust noise. put on tne new muffler which quietened it down except for the knock.


barls - November 20th, 2004 at 03:48 PM

yeah i think the old man plans a t4 2L for it to give it the grunt it needs


barls - November 30th, 2004 at 04:49 PM

marty_08 - December 6th, 2004 at 09:04 PM

Quick question barls. Where did you get the manifold for the carby made up?? As i have a square based progressive carby (not sure if weber) and i'm tossing up whether to get a plate made up or to go with the new manifold - whatever is cheaper!!!


barls - December 9th, 2004 at 01:40 PM

i bought it with the carb mate from jeff at hellbug. id get a manifold if possible they are available in oz somewhere
