Yeah saw that one too. Bit rich for the condition it's in and then I still have to do full reconditioning.
Thanks any way

Have you considered Torana discs on a drum brake HR front end?... The adaptor kit is readily available.....Only draw back is the conversion makes the track width a little wider.

Wow, thats starting to sound a bit too complicated.
I'm in Melb so Towoomba pick up is a little far.
I'll either keep it original or just wait for a HR front end to appear.

Thanks

Bought a drum brake unit with everything hanging off it for $150 a couple of months back , will be using HQ / WB spindle and rotor set up with rotors drilled to early PCD . Will do full rebuild and modify top A arm location to install in daughters EJ . There are sensible buys out there , personally I wouldn't pay more than $250 for a rebuilder .
I would rather work on a Morris 1100 than use a computer !!!!!!

Not sure if you are still chasing one but I have a disc brake version for sale as I have purchased a rodtech frontend. It is stripped down but complete and has had the hr outrigger removed. I have a brand new fb outrigger for it. I have done the lower cross member re-enforcement plate already. It comes with new ball joints replaced and about $400 worth of new parts not fitted. Will need new shockers and the callipers rebuilt. Chasing $800 no less. I'm in Kilsyth.
