Mick,

I've got two grey boxes for sale:

A bit pricey compared to runners that havn't been overhauled, though no dearer than buying a crap runner and doing the overhaul yourself.

Cheers,

thanks harv i've seen your boxes for sale i'm not entirely sure what i'm doing yet first thing would be to see if an engine turns up and i think i need to use the EJ type box as i'll be useing an EJ/EH steering collum if that collum will work with the earlier box then one of your boxes may be fine
will wait and see what turns up thanks

looks like it's gunna be to much of a hassle and to expensive (given I want to change the timing gear run twins and electronic ignition at a minimum) so another one gets the chop so an aussie 4 speed can go in behind a red motor

:lol: i just figured so many people love them there has to be something i'm missing maybe all the others i've had or drove were duds :wink: :lol: plus i'm 50 now :shock: :lol:
i'm actually fairly dissapointed that i'm going with the red motor 4 speed now :shock: but i just can't justify what it will cost to go with a grey :(
