Hey Allan, hope everything is going well and the you got the new clutch sorted. Am missing it already...
Bryan, that would have been me dropping the car up to him.
I saw Eddie (Resin) in his twin turbo brumby on the way back as well!
Simon...

welcome!

qikrx,
is that thing still around.. (must catch up with him.)

Yeah. Thanks very much for your replies and comments guys.
Simon, i got the clutch sorted, it was a bent pedal and a bent secondary lever in the pedal box assembly. Once that clutch hooked up i found that this thing is awesome. The ultimate sleeper for sure. People see the horrible looking paint-job and laugh, until they see it go screaming past.

does anybody know of an L series that i can get some interior parts from??
None of the wreckers up here have an L series sedan!!??

Cheers again guys and girls

Glad it's all sorted mate!
Wierd thing that it was fine before I got the gearbox/flywheel/clutch/pressure plate installed...wonder what caused it???
Only reason I got the clutch replaced was cause the old one had no meat left on it but it still hooked up fine.
Remember if you want it to go harder, change the turbo to a VF-8 off a Series 1 RS Lib. Can pick them up for about $200.
Glad to hear your having fun with it. Go the sleepers!!!
