3.36 it is then, i hope that will be a bit quieter at higher speeds. Right now it doesn't matter that i don't have a stereo cos i wouldn't be able to hear it anyway.

Sure do, likes going real fast and loves muscle cars. Went to school with his brother, we all grew up in the same neighbourhood. How do you know him?

Well, short storey- i had a HT prem which i sold to my mate. Derrick is one of my mates clients (tattoos), and now Derrick works on the Prem for my mate. I've been the taxi down to Rosebud a couple of times when the Prem had to be dropped off or picked up. We got to talking about EK's and he mentioned one of his mates had a white sedan with a candy lace-work roof, pretty sure there isn't many of them getting 'round!

Yep, pretty sure you're right. Derrick is a crazy ass ranga though.... Don't ever get in his daily driver, can't keep up think he's back in a Subaru. In his previous daily, a Lancer he scared the crap out of his apprentice. Great mechanic though. Back in the mid to late 80's had an LC GTR Torana that ran 13's with a six in it.

Haha, ok point taken. Thats one hell of a Torrie, and if that's the case i'm NEVER going to get in his Super Bee- then again i think i'd actually love to take a ride in it, just maybe not with him driving.

quick update... dropped in rebuilt grey last week... ran ok for about 20 mins.. running it in.. then let go from rear main .. ahh happy days..
anyone heard of a rear main taking up then slipping... ? stu

Yes I was told about that, what a pain in the ass , a drop of glue helps .

Bummer, although as a consolation you could drive in front of me for a bit as payback from the nats trip up

yep... rear main replaced.. off and running... beautiful...

sitting at a set of lights... attempt to put it into first... nothing... no first gear or reverse... pulled off in second no dramas !
cracked the shits last night and didn't look at it... but mustering the courage tonight... mmmm.. not sure if in the column or linkage... felt like it was in the column ?... can't pull stick back far enough to find 1st or reverse... ideas ?

stu

Linkage hopefully

Well Stu?

no good so far dr... didn't get much time last night.. try again tonight...

done! shit it feels good to solve a problem!
problem in honeypot, shifter had come out of the notch in steering tube, hence no first or reverse.
