Girlfriends vote goes for green with glitter. Im kind of coming round to the idea.

Also, took the box apart today. No wonder it wasnt going anywhere fast. Also found the speedo drive gear on the output shaft...attached with a clip :S

Cleaned up the shed to make way for the engine.

That 173 sure did a number on the gearbox

Hmmm, that Traumatic looks a little traumatised......

I can get you another one, verrrrrry cheap. It's sitting in the bush across the road, about a hundred metres from me right now.

The only thing is, it has a Starfire bolted to the front of it.

The 173 was a manual

I've got another box waiting to go in, trimatic off a VL. So will do a fluid change on that, inspect the pan for piecse...then fit it up.

 

[soop]

Cool.
Now you've got a cool boat anchor!

Edit; nvm read the rest of the page

What color glittery stuff ?

 

[Sabbath']

Alrighty.

Motor is out.

Shed floor needs a good scrub me thinks.

Sprayed the extractors in silver. Also sprayed the block in black. Figured while it was out, better time than any.
