Definitely in on this one. Will there be any mechanical upgrades or mods as well or just get it reliable?

Well Stu...that would be a BIG YES!! Pete has in his shed a good 179 Red motor & 4 speed box all ready for it...as I think I can safely say that this grey is well on the way out!!

Scotty. change the look...leave the mechanical to Pete...that's HIS domain!

Good job getting that Jalopy home (Well a gallant try anyway!) Good to see you are underway already. Smash that old gear off and drive a new one on (Cheaters way! Put a bar in the fuel pump hole, against the cam, I'm told!) Then you will have MOBILITY again.

Scotty, Brian,

If it's any use, I've got a grey motor harmonic balancer removerer and a grey motor harmonic balancer whacker-onerer that you are welcome to borrow. Not essential for the job, but handy. Let me know if you want them and I'll throw them into the post. Don't have a timing cover seal straighten-uperer through... damn things go for over $200 on eBay .

Cheers,
Harv (deputy apprentice timing gear fiddler).

Just got off the phone with Tony & it sounds like he has the timing gear stuff figured out, Harv. The harmonic balance is the later version so I've got the puller covered (so has Tony) , so thanks anyway mate.
But with all the 'specialist equipment' you have you should be (head honcho timing gear fiddler!).

Im probably coming down to see my grandparents over christmas. How about I call in also and we really put a dent in it.

Why do you want to put dents in it?
I thought they were fixing it
