The Cedric is a 6 stud pattern. Real bizzare, so yeah they are exactly the rims that are going on it.

As for DAT that comment could have gone either way. Maybe i was in a shitty mood at the time. I've been using forums for years and i know that if your going to make a comment about somebody youv'e got to be very clear about the point your trying to put across.....

anyway, work probably wont start on the Cedric till early next year. just wanna get it running at the moment so i can get it to places without needing a tow. i think an engine conversion will diminish the historical value of the car so i might just get it rebuilt etc.. this might change when i actually get to drive it but we'll see.

you should do the exact reverse to me

i'm building a stout engine/driveline combo with the factory look outside.

you should build a totally stock vehicle mechanically, but with wild paint and rims...!

then we could get a double photoshoot together! awesome...!

yeah pro, thats exactly what i'm doin. how cool. Got delivery of my original Cedric Service manual today. Picked it up for $15. bargain. its 200 pages long! lucky there's lots of pictures!

and the heading of the magazine spread could be "2 Face"

That car is calling for some suicide doors at the back

i'm hearing the call Zilla, but who how and where? and how much?

Unfortunately cant help you there, not even sure where you are located, but I know this guy does Gull wing doors;

http://www.xracing.com.au/

Think he is located out west of sydney, if he can do those conversion, then 2 suicides would be a walk in the park I would think.

this is the first time i have looked in the members area. am i glad i did. that car is hot or should i say will be hot. cant say i even know what it is. or the h or j series engine is.........im sure you will have a blast making her look like the best ride on the road

thanks for the nice comments graham. I got it started today. Hooked up a facet electronic fuel pump and now runs no worries. its blowing alot of white smoke from the oil filler cap. I'm guessing the rings are rooted. But i'm gonna change the oil and put in some Lucas oil additive and see if it helps.

Changed my mind on the colour(surprise surprise) i'm goin for a Candy Green with white roof.

does anyone know how to take out a rounded off sump plug?

Try filing flats on two opposite sides of the plug, then use an open-ended spanner.

that is one tough lookin car. I fully agree with godzailladat, it must have suicide doors. Good luck with the resto dude!

thanks guys, i'll try filing it first then if that dont work i'll do the weld.

Try a pair of locking pliers or a stilson pipe wrench, with a bit of heat if you can. And while trying to undo it, keep repeating the mantra "Whatever man can do up, man can undo..."

Good Luck,
