gday im trying to find some info for an old vechile im workin on, the vechile was converted from a positive earth with a generator to a negative earth withan alternator, the vechile would start and then run roughly and then stop, so we tracked the problem down to a faulty coil, replaced the coil, the vechile ran fine then the same problem happened again, we are assuming an electrical fault is the cause,the coil would get extremely hot when the vechile was running and when the vechile wasnt running and had thekey on, any ideas on where to start looking? cheers foxy

hello all, im about to put a new floor section in the passanger ide of my wb ute. its a big section that extends from the middle of the floor brace to the fire wall and from the gearbox housing to the door sill. im green as hell and will take any advice on board, the replacement section is one from rare spares. im not sure whether to butt join or overlap, i planned on tacking it in with a mig and getting a panel shop to finish it with a bronze welder. not looking for a showroom finish but i want it to be neat. thanks Foxy :)

gday, i just pulled my ute down to the chassis and was looking at the rear suspension. when i noticed that the front link of the rear suspension was held in by a bolt with no nut. both sides were like this so i assumed that it must of been threaded plate. doesnt seem to be. there isnt enough bolt to fit a bolt to fit a nut on so im wondering if its been cut. if any1 knows how the setups spose to be please share,
cheers foxy

g'day fellas
just wondering how you go about removing the plastic tarp clips that go around the outside of the ute body.they have 3 rivets or sumthin. it for a respray, would it be better just to mask them? want to do it without breaking them,
cheers Foxy

gday, i am currently in a situation im sure some of you blokes have been in, as a few years back i aquired a old wb ute for not much more than a handshake. the ute hadnt been registered for a number of years before i got it. i was wondering if anyone could tell me how hard it would be to get it registered after neatening it up? (ie. new front end, paint job and re trim)
cheers Foxy0008

gday, im considering doing up my former muck around farm ute into my first car.its a 1984 wb with a blue 202 and the old 3 on the tree. i am not bad with cars, so i consider myself capable of this challenge. i was wondering if anyone had any advice on panel beating as one of the front quater panels has a fair dint along with the door. i was wondering whether it was worth fixing them or just replacing them. i also intend to strip the ute down, spray it and rebuild the engine, having already rebuilt a holden red 179. and also if anyone knew how much a general resto project costs that wuld help too. as im not well funded haha
any help appreciated, riley

gday, im 15 and currently restoring my first old car. its a hd holden. ive rebuilt the engine my self and seeking advice as to how is the best way to panelbeat. the car has been rolled and the roof is pranged up a fair bit. i was thinking of taking out the lining and attacking it with a soft hammer, any feedbak welcome
thanks
