Good buy.I wish i never sold the one we had.

Looking through the glovebox, i found the owners manual, genuine accessory guide, service receipts and the original sales docket. It was bought for $10,192 from Inwood Motors, Bathurst on the 29/7/83

One quick question, does it require flashlube additive/ in the fuel to protect the valveseats? The lady i bought it off rekons so, but didnt think jap motors needed it.

As far as painting it goes, Im just gonna fix up the small bits of rust and give it a rattlecan paint job. But after i build my shed/workshop, its gonna get a propper paint job. Im thinking a bright red/orange.

Pretty sure all the EA81's had hardened valve seats...

Yeah our old leone ran on premium unleaded no worries.

So i can throw away the valve treatment. Good

I have a new top radiator hose (EA82 top hose, the listed EA71/81 hose was not even close to fitting) and new plugs and leads.

I'll keep ya's updated

Cheers
