If you do find yours I would be interested in buying it off you. Let me know!

Thanks for your encouragement!

If I find it, it's yours no need to pay for it. I don't think I'll be needing it again. I'll have a look in the garage on the weekend but I'm almost certain it's not there because we moved recently and I don't remember seeing it. Though there were some old boxes from the previous move that I hadn't opened and I have a feeling it may be in them.

BTW nice place to have a farm, I was out that way over Easter, we went down to the Turon for a couple of days. A mate of mine has a little weekender property out at Mudgee too.

I'll let you know how I go.

Cheers

Mr shonk
just in case josh has no luck, finding the manual,
in this day of internet, everyone has forgotten the old favourite, the local library, as holden motors are common most local libraries have the manuals.
all you do is borrow the said manual and photocopy the relevant pages,
failing that oldholdens.com has nearly all tuning info you need, covering nearly everything, i got a stack of gearbox info for the batmobile from there.

ps diana mentioned i had some stuff at blayney, to date most of it is spoken for, there are some items i don;t need( at this stage) the tub, seat box and the guards( their ser 3 ones ) but if you end up hacking the one that won;t come off there is a side panel you can use. you are welcome to it/them. I have photos if you want a look see.

pss the libray in lismore has a stack of holden manuals, very easy to scan and send.

It certainly is. We are right in the Valley - 360* views of the clifflines. Beautiful.

You are dead right - I didn't even think of that...

I will keep that in mind!

Photos would be great - thanks!

Is there anything you are after for your beastie? I don't have much but I do have a few bits lying around and like most on here - I always have my eyes peeled for parts!

thanks for that, i need some millitary bits, which you haven;t got its fine.
