SpudFiles

Well its been a while so I thought I'd best let ya's know Im not dead . So my latest project for those who dont have a Theopia account is this.



The Tonner


Front End. Note its gonna get a bullbar instead of this front clip


And if I had a spare 5 grand this would be mine also


Its going in my Holden WB One Tonner. Also good news for you true spudders. I have a coax piston rifle in the make.

Hey Twitch good to see ya back on the forum matey How exactly are you going to rifle your barrel?? Inquiring minds want to know!!

Oh yeah do you have any info on what happened to RNA's mate? Like did he get put in the clink or what?

6 cylinder... Stick a good old v8 in there to spice things up a bit Jk

What are you planning on doing with it? Full up resto or just getting it running?

I got curious and looked it up. That's a pretty cool looking car/truck/ute...

Be sure you put up some pics when ya " Git er done!"

I agree on the appearance.

Now, I'm rubbish with Aussie cars, but wasn't that 173ci I6 pressed for more than about 100 horsepower when new? And that was a good 25 years back.
That wouldn't be bad grunt for a city hatchback or just for getting around, but it's going to limit what it can do as a ute.

I've done a lot of work on engines around that age, and they can be right buggers.
Not that you've necessarily ended up with one of the bum engines I work on (which to be fair, are mostly badly treated diesels), and it will be fine for light work, but don't expect too much of it.

That is pretty neat, what are the specs on the engine?

Hey Jitup- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Grey_motor

Google is cool

Haha thanks guys. First off the rifling. Im doing it the old fashioned way of a dowel rod and nails albeit using a metal work lathe and RNA's mate got a 6 month sentence with a year probation thank god.

@FordGTMan:
If I was legally allowed to it would have a 502ci big block

@Gippeto:
Shes a beast. Sadly I have to find a new tray and twin headlight front clip like that one. And mines red and purple

@Ragnarok:
Spot on buddy. 125bhp. And yes it would have lost power over the years but Im going thoroughly over it and just checking it over (god bless having a family of mechanics) and to also kick her up the guts to get her moving is a new timing gear set and a triple weber or stromberg carbied set-up.

@Jitup:
If I could tell you mate I would

And Casino mate, she's a red motor with a black 202ci head .

Im gonna go take some piccies of me tonner as it is now and Ill up load them. Note I might be able to buy a 308ci V8 as well

It's a CHEVY,(I thought it looked "'El Camino.. ish!) drop in a 350/TH350!


Edit:
What do you mean by "legally allowed to"?

Have you been naughty?

Haha we arent allowed to drive anything bigger than a 6 cylinder engine. Oh and pics

If I was legally allowed to it would have a 502ci big block

Ughh, id rather have a 428 cobra jet. So it is a chevy... Like an aussie chevy or something? Never seen these things before. But it does look alright..

Edit: oh yea, is there a low power limit in Australia or something? If so, bummer.

Edit: damnitt! sorry didnt see your post haha.

Haha yeah its the aussie part of GM. We design most of GM's cars here. And one day mate. You and Me. Ford VS Holden

Hahahaha i know how this one is going to end....
