Ive been looking at fitting a weber carb from a falcon to my red 202, Im unsure what is a good price to pay though. Theres a couple on ebay for anywhere between $40-$90 plus postage. Are they reasonable prices or do I need to speak to a wrecker on Monday? I dont want to miss out on the ebay one...

Noo sh!t. I was told the same thing about the cracked floorpan being a factory fault and Holden having an obligation to fix it free of charge by someone else. I went in to my local Holden dealership and they pretty much told me I was dreaming and to GTFO. Ill go into a different dealership and...

Yeh thats probably not a bad idea.:)

Yeh thats what I thought, fairly common problem. Thanks guys.

Yeh its getting worse I reckon. I need to get it fixed sooner rather then later. Thats what Im sorta trying to work out, if its worth getting fixed. I dont think its rust. Theres been a couple of people Ive spoken to that have had the same problem with their VB/VC in the past, which led me to...

The floorpan under my drivers seat is cracked/sagging. Im thinking about fixing it soon. Would it be expensive to get fixed and what would it involve??

ohh yeh and setting up the timing, must not forget that now. Thanks :)

Might be a bit of a stupid question but when installing a HEI dizzy from a Blue 202 into a Red 202 is it basically just a straight coil, dizzy swap with new electronic ignition leads. The reason i ask is because I was gonna do this swap during the week and while I was doing a bit of...

Haha no sh!t...mines been like this for ages Ive just never bothered to tryand fix it> Ive just tried your suggestion and mine was exactly the same images blocked from JC only. Fixed now though Thanks mate :)

That is what Im looking at now. Ill give that a go... Nah I havnt tried IE because I cant get it to connect to the internet (but thats a another problem for another day)

Im having problems see any of the pics JC. I cant see the Attatched Thumbnails or the icons above when Im posting this or any other message. Is there anyway to fix this or is it a problem with the browser I am using (Firefox BTW). Thanks

Speedo gear Calculator This will help you to an extent. You will need to know what colour driven and drive speedo gears are though which isnt too hard (atleast not on my Trimatic). You can buy replacement gears to get the right combo from Rare Spares or any good auto trans workshop should have a...

...oh and cleaned my windscreen

flushed the radiator and filled it up with new coolant

Great conversion mate!! Ive been thinking about putting a RB30 in my VB for a while now, its been an off again/on again sorta thing. I was just wondering how you went with the write up on this conversion. I think if I had alot of it put into writing I could break it down and finally do it...

Ohhk VB it is...'least that will be cheeper because I only need the front bar/apron thing and passenger side guard rather then a whole front end. I really only wanted it for the clear indicators, so if anyone knows of anything I can do about getting clear indicators to suit my VB guards let me...

Ive saved up a bit of money over the last few months and have organised to replace the steering rack and brake master cylinder next Saturday. I sold the Celica to one of the fellas at work so the VB is staying on the road indeffinatly, and wont be getting and engine conversion anytime soon:(...

Mmm yeah. I really want to get my arse into gear fix and up the stuff that needs doing then get a 308 and whack that in. Having said that, my funds are and will be limted for a while now...unless I win the lotto or my great Uncle Bob dies suddenly and leaves me his inheritance:p

Nah, I just got a spare parts interpreter apprenticeship so Ive only got a little bit of money to play with ATM. I may well not have anything to update about for atleast a few months although its duel fuel and due for a LPG service pretty soon so I may be able to conceal that as an update. :p

Ill keep that last tip in mind. :)

Thanks for the reasurance.:) Theres not really much to update looks or upgrade wise to warrant new pics just the odd chip in the paint :(:( and seat covers. Ohh and a burgandy steering wheel Ive painted beige but is flaking off majorly. Will post more pics when Ive got something worthy...

Thanks guys. Ive been pretty tempted to give up on it just lately but after the mechanic serviced it and gave it a once over he said it was in really good condition mechanically for its age and once I got a few minor things fixed it would be A1, and get it tuned properly while running on...

Great ride. Good to see another nice early girl on the road and in the hands of someone who is going to look after it. Im hoping/planning to drop a 308 in mine sometime soon...but we will see if that actually happens.

Bit of an update. I have had a job as a pizza delivery boy for the best part of a year so the car has been on the road for all of that. It has held up pretty well considering in that time I changed the oil and filter once at the start and only had it serviced towards the end. It runs a bit rough...

There is/was one around here somewhere. Ill try and find it in my subscribed threads...Hopefully I subscribed to it. :EDIT: Found my car's thread have bumped it with a bit of an update should be at or near the top of this board.

Woah $8000. Its amazing the money you save when do everything yourself. That was one thing I forgot to say in my first post, good on ya for doing all of this yourself:thumbsup:

Thats insane!!! I love the old girls and this is a perfect example of TOUGH. Personally I wouldnt be getting a bonnet scoop or anything but each to their own. How long did it take from the start to when those first pics were taken??

Alright thats cool, Im only at Morphett Vale. Ive gotta work on Monday and Tuesday so they're no good for me, how about Thursday at about 12:30??

Im pretty interested. Where in Adelaide do you live and when could I come have a look??

Nah no worries mate. Good luck with the sale.

I dunno if it was out before i put the new wheels on but i think it was good when i bought it with stockies. But i wanna no if there is somthing i can buy to make the speedo read the actual speed. Cheers vb_commie

I need help to work out why my speedo on my VB Commodore would be reading slower than im actually going. Ive put new wheels on but i found a thread on here saying to measure the total diameter of the stock wheels and the new wheels then divide the stockies by the new ones to find how much your...

Thanks DANNY8 and some pics in the future would would be pretty useful to Cheers vb_commie

I know you bought this car with the conversion already done but do you have any idea how they went about it or what problems they worked through because i wanna put a RB30 in my VB. Also has anyone else done this conversion because a walkthrough or some tips and some pics would be pretty handy...
