How bad is the rust. Means you loose the lpg certification too now

its really not too bad, the front drivers door isnt aligned properly , comes out a bit so i tihnk it might have been in an accident.
Also passanger door was broken into as some stage and theres damage around the door lock, tried to bog it up and shave it but its cracked through because bog is dodgy haha.
one of the rear quarters has a few decent holes and would need a patch welded on, theres a dent on one of the pillars ,bonnet has a dent from the aircleaner i guess when they put the gas adapter they needed to cut down the wingnut stud that holds down the air cleaner....
front guard has buckles around the lip.. Bootlid has some rust and dents. interior isnt that great, needs new carpet, door trims have odd stains and have holes for speakers that the previous owner cut.

Just going to be easier to get a stocker haha.

not worried about the lpg really, ill keep the setup though incase.
As its going club rego i wont be driving it enough to worry about fuel economy.

Stanza is now club registered! glad i have decided to keep it, its alot of fun.

Am going to roll the guards some time soon as the tyres on it are pretty fat.



Webers are back on




I have sorted out the linkages but have a problem where it is idling too high so am trying to fix that, have been told it could be that the shaft is bent and also someone said that there could be a vacuum leak. I will have a look at that and see what i can do, but otherwise its driving and sounds absolutely amazing, i forgot to bring the logbook up so cant drive it on the road but we have a large property so i did some hotlaps hahaha.
Will be bringing this down to melbourne eventually.

Leave it idling at 1000rpm. Makes for instant rwc checks in the city lol

It's at 2200rpm

Twice as likely to get pinged then lol

Idle fixed, one of the linkages was keeping one of the carbies open a bit so i just ground it down and now have it idling at around 1000rpm.
Linkages are all sorted now and are perfect, so much better than what i had on the datrally manifold.
Cusco strut brace fitted



standard throttle linkage



Heres the return spring



closeup or the carbies



that engine bay







I also rolled the guards a bit because the tyres are very fat!
Car is rough but is alot of fun to drive, handles really well etc.
The carbies need a tune, i have 3 or 4 matches pairs so i will do some research and exchange chokes jets etc to get it all perfect, if i cant get it perfect i will get it dyno tuned.
