Just a blog about fixing cars

1. A 1964 fiat 850 which i bought from the second owner for $500, she lives only 1km down the road from me and i used to dream of buying the car when i drove past in the school bus and saw it every day. I fitted the little car with a random set of drift wheels as a joke but i plan to do a full roticery restoration on the car once i have my shed built

2. A 1974 suzuki jimney, i was given this car by a local farmer who had had the car as a padok basher when he was a kid, the original 3 cylnder 2stroke engine has been replaced by a later model 4 stroke which has seized. Im in the prosses of tracking down the original motor for the car, at which point i will put it on the road with minimal changes.

3. My 1977 xc gs falcon ute. The car was originaly a steel blue 302 car but at some point in its life it was resprayed and fitted with a larger 351. Im curently going through the body work and preping the car for paint at which point i will put a 351 with close chamber ported 302 head and a street crank back in the car. I am yet to decide on a coulor

4.iggy. my 1982 ra60 celica afectionately known as iggy. I bought the car about 12 months ago from a guy who used it as a variety bash car. I then put it on club rego and have had nothing but trouble from the little car, when i finaly fixed its carboretor problems the brake master cylnder gave out and im currently waiting for a replacement

My current main project is this 1977 xc gs falcon Ute, originally a 302 car when I bought it the bloke had swaped it out for a 351 which I'm currently rebuilding, iv also started bogging and priming the bodywork for paint and hope to finish the car in the next couple months

I currently plan on painting it as an xa superbird clone. The xa superbird was a homologation special made in an early model of the generation and featured a green on green paint scheme that I will replicate using the stripe pattern of the xb gt rather than that of the superbird.
