Alex, have you been into that fermented grape juice again? Maybe you were thinking of the fuel filter or maybe a V8 Chebby.
Cheers,
Barry

Well done, Rich.
Good to see it on the road at last. How did it go? No wheel wobble? No unnecessary noises?
I know the feeling when you get something on the road for the first time. Makes you want to start another!! Maybe not.
How's Mojo? Feeling a bit neglected? Well not for too much longer.
Regards Rick

Default Nice !

Great Job Richard

I recall Tim V had a variety of Blitz's in the late 70's early 80's . He would restore one every six months ... how he did it we were amazed .I have a snap of his C60S ? at the 1981 Corowa , it could be yours maybe .. it was a mockup cab 43 soft-top with a canvas roof . Here it is , with a jib in the back . I have another pic of it somewhere .. taken from the front .

Tims other Blitz that year at Corowa was a neat cab 13 Ford F15 with a 302 Windsor and C4 auto .. it ended up in Tasmania .

Default F15

The F15 'Hot Rod' . at Corowa 1981 .Wouldn't you like those tyres ! In those days the event was held in a different location , they revamped the Ball Park and moved it, closer to the town centre.

Didn't that one come to a sticky (or wet end) in Tassie?
