New to old cars: should i go all gas

published by wb84van on Thu, 27/04/2017 - 20:48

Hi All

I need to seek some advise.
I have just acquired a 1984 WB panelvan, mostly in original condition, 3.3L blue motor, 3 speed Auto on column.
Just picked van up after first road worthy attempt. Van is dual fuel, gas and petrol. Runs rough on petrol, good on gas.
Has almost all the emission fitting missing.
Speaking with mechanic, I asked is it better to go Gas only, no need for emission fittings. Would need to remove all petrol tank, pump, hoses etc.

HK Holden Sedan Delivery...

published by car13 on Tue, 25/04/2017 - 14:49

This came up in my twitter feed today so I thought why not put it up again as it looks so good. [it's been on here before].

It was made from a ute and pieces of a van and a station wagon.

It's still registered so it must be around somewhere.

HG Wagon

published by TurboDave on Tue, 25/04/2017 - 08:14

I guys, there was a HG Wagon posted on here that was listed on ebay for sale, nice car and the auction finished at $36 600, with reserve not met, anyway the owners listed it on gumtree for $62 000. Now as much as it is a nice car, and you will never find another like it, that to me is a lot of money. But I guess each to his own.
Cheers,
Dave

EH 3 speed linkage setup

published by Canby680 on Sun, 23/04/2017 - 19:20

Hi there,
I've just about finished my EH ute resto and trying to set up the 3 on the tree linkage.
It worked fine in the donor car, but can't seem to get it working right after reinstalling it. I have put new bushes in the top linkage and welded and rebuilt the bottom linkages.
Anyone got some advice on the basic setup followed by fine tuning
Cheers,
CB.

Spartan automotive enamel advice please!

published by Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 23/04/2017 - 00:44

Hey guys,

I got some cans of unopened, 7 years old Spartan automotive enamel which i like to use for a project.

Is that still good to use?
If so, does anyone know the ration for the hardener?
Should I buy new hardener for the job?

Any advice appreciated!
Cheers,
Terra
