Can this be the same car so many years later, now for sale still bearing the TILLY STPRIPES???
By ehyser64 05/02/12@22:37I can see holes in the front bumper bar where it had the driving lights. Number plate has changed but may have gone over the boarder. Love the look of the tilly stripes. just have to wonder if it is the same car and if the original owner knew how famous their picture was some many years ago.
GREAT CARS AND GREAT HISTORY
What's that noise?
By 30ATE 05/02/12@22:31 LetsCruiseG day All!
I've got a problem with the steering in my car at low revs say parking or going round the corner the car will make a 'grrrr nawwwww grrrrr' noise. Now the belt is tight, and the pump is less than a year old. The rack is about 5 years old now. But I can't see any noticeable leaks. However I did notice that the fluid was a bit low... Say 150mls. But it seems to have tiny air bubbles in it. So... Is that the problem air? How do you bleed the air out of it? Also a general question in the steering racks, after 5 years do they just fail? Like a seal goes in them? I was told that every 5 years a guy I know would have to replace his whole rack. You could set your watch to it so to speak. Is there any truth to that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers guys

Anyone chasing a Fuelmiser HY-353 carby kit still in unopened packet? Possibly for a 350 holley? NOS and dated 03/12/96. Chasing $30 plus postage. Also a HQ owner's manual - good condition although some wear on outer cover and some finger marks inside. Dated Sep 1971 (camera just died so no photo but should be able to do tomorrow). $40 plus postage. email me at hktgparts at bigpond dot com. If no one interested to ebay they go. Cheers.

By trayback 04/02/12@22:48 4515G'day Guys. I don't know if anybody here would be interested in this old gemini but someone maybe able to tell me what it's worth or where to advertise it.
Mum bought it new in 1978, this td 4 door gemini has only 73446 k on the clock.Started today after been sitting in her shed since 2002.Seats are like new as is the headlining and door trims,carpet is a bit shabby and the dash pad is cracked in 3 places.Paint work is poor would need to be all removed to repaint.Is original metalic dark blue.Doesn't seem to have any bad rust just a lot of surface rust.One front brake is locking up.Has 4 on the floor and stainless steel exhaust,only had 1 set of tyres replaced since new.
What do you blokes think? Am i dreaming at $1000?
Any interest?
Thanks...Paul
