Re: cruise control

Had them fitted in a few different cars at work. Same unit, different cars. Worked well in land cruisers but in patrols it would slow down going up hills, then when you got to the top they would accelerate way over the set speed. $*#@ dangerous.

Re: Elle’s 1960 FB 225 mild custom

Very good for original, I agree.

METALFIX is a tough, fire-retardant primer designed for application directly over badly rusted surfaces. It converts the rust into a metal phosphate within the paint film and simultaneously forms a protective abrasion-resistant skin which tolerates temperatures from ...

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute

Hi Spanners. Yes the ute has the splash trays per factory. A lot of these cars have them taken off, including the sedan we have. One theory is that having them on actually increases airflow through the radiator.

I speculate that all thermostats allow some flow when theoretically closed. One way to ...

Re: Elle’s 1960 FB 225 mild custom

Yep. Lights working. Exhaust exhausting. Calling it done for now.

On to sills. The drains were mostly blocked. One had been spot welded right in the middle,so this sill is the original. Cheap unskilled labour put these together. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250629 ...

Re: Elle’s 1960 FB 225 mild custom

You never know Greg. Takes me for ever to just do this dipshit stuff lately. Once bumpers are refurbed and back on, I still need to complete fisholene application in the sills and rear doors, replace the speedo and cable, and correct the wheel alignment.
