Green VS Maloo

[VS 5.0]

The caster was on an angle and hit a 20mm step in the concrete at the roller door and just collapsed / shattered = cheap ase very brittle cast metal caster wheels.

English wheel = metal forming = create duel compoun curves = e.g. a very complex / art= ( to get right) metal roller.
Think easiest e.g. can roll a bowl shape.

Well aware of the purpose of an English wheel.

More interested in your plans for it's use.

Ok , will eventually post in projects.
Bought this in 1983 and drove it around/ was my daily for quite a while .
Not an v8 but fxxk it went for a 4 and handled.
Sore should I say = 210 km in a 1978 2.0l and handled on rails.
It's not perfect = a very = well you need to love these = or not!!!!
Computer's not playing so maybe later

A Lancia monte carlo = goolge.
Plans body work = smick , a hopefully about 140kw engine ( 84 kw standard) in a 970ish klo car = fun!!

Ha ha ha , nice .
I'm a car and bike guy = so love lots of different.

Actually a mistake was 1985 I got this .
Apart from the monaro gts ( bottom of the gts range = 186s ) I punted 4s for the first 12 years of my driving life( a Holden Gemini van but mostly Lancias) = was ( although l love my cars ) was way more into my bikes!!!
Then for the next 26 years = 6s and v8s and still my bikes until my sensible daily that's just been replaced with a not quite so sensible 4 cylinder daily

I might add highest number of ownership is Holden and within that is Commodore/ or related e.g. monaro or HSV.

I like lots of different cars too just gravitate towards holdens...if given choice would have nothing but toranas again...or sell fleet for a hk 327 gts monaro.

The mates were into all different brands so could enjoy those cars too...except for the fords lol

Ha ha , yeah , I do actually really like quite a lot of fords but have never managed to convince myself to buy any apart from the current daily ford focus st and in the 90s a ford capri 1970 gt .
Stayed over at a mates place when I owned the capri and I'd used it to get there.
A friend of theirs was way into fords ( owned a facon gt = can't remember which year).
I totally upset him when he said good to meet/ see another ford guy and I said I hate fords I just love Capris ha ha ha ha
And yes mate was way into alfas.= ( would love to have / punt around a 70s 2000 gtv), Not surprisingly his ol man had an alfa 75 3.0l as a daily back when they were a thing/ new.

What ? Has it really been that long = 1.5 months?
No photos = maybe next time!
Put petrol in and used today = sooo much fun = just cruising.
Think I've finally found a reasonably local car club to join.
Great bunch of freindly people .
Lots of different cars !
Their motto is if you love it we love it
Just a fun nice easy cruise an social day
