dee4 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hi from Perth Western Australia! Thought I'd better 'check in' before I go asking all sorts of nu-b questions :rolleyes: I actually signed up about 4 years ago before I bought my goon, but I've been a bit of a freeloader up until now :blush: So here's my project: Its a '71 Aussie 1600 and the above pics are from the day I bought it about 3 years ago. It drove ok (except for a stuffed dogleg box) and I've kept it registered, but sadly, not much has happened since then besides me stripping it to a near bare shell (bought a house, had two kids.... the usual). It has a bit of rust and a bit more bog (bondo?), a tired L18 with an A87 head and Weber downdraught, and a welded rear end, but I think the time has come to get things moving again. It won't happen fast (lack of funds :no: ), but I'll get there with a little Ratsun inspiration!! :D Over the last 3 years I've also happened to acquire some other bits: 2 L20B's (one early with an A87 head, rear sump, twin SU's and unknown internals, and another from a later Bluebird stock standard with very low km's), an unknown 4 speed box which came from another 1600, another short dogleg 5 speed, plus another longer mystery box that I haven't really had a look at yet, plus another set of twin SU's on their own. Hopefully I can put together a decent combination out of all this! :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment

Duncan Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hi from Perth Western Australia! Nice! I brought a goon over from Australia which is currently undergoing some resto. Thanks for the pics! Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Woohoo another Aussie. I had a similar red back spider gear knob on my first 1600 in 1986! Needs the back dropped :) Quote Link to comment

Really?? :geek: Are you in the US? I thought you guys had heaps of them over there! They're very rare over here..... and you took one away from us?? :crying: :crying: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

Where you from? Yeah, a big drop is certainly on the cards after the bodywork and engine/gearbox is sorted. ;) Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hehehe! Where you from? Other side of the Island (Canberra). Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Are you in the US? Yes, I am. I thought you guys had heaps of them over there! We do, but I like the RHD models. None of those here. (I know of one other that has been converted to RHD) They're very rare over here..... and you took one away from us?? It was full of rust and bog and probably would not have passed your inspection. You say I took it away, I say I saved it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Those are really big speakers you have installed in the rear floor boards Jon. Is that so you can jump your Lil Wayne mobbin' down the freeway? Quote Link to comment
