long story short.
i bought a TD off a bloke who was splitting up with his wife so she wouldnt send it to the crushers. it's his "in progress" and i bought it with full intention of selling it back to him once he was settled away from his ex. that was 6 months ago. i kept in contact with him until the last message i got from him was "cya in 4 weekswhen i get back to perth", that was 3 months ago. his number and email have both since died so i no longer have contact and i dont have the room to store a car indefinitely.
TD Sedan
6 Cylinder cast xflow. unsure of cid
2bbl holley and 2bbl manifold
extractors
lumpy cam of some degree. not 100% on it but it has the idle note to indicate mild balls.
extractors
4 speed
it still starts/runs and drives. i've driven it to the end of the street and back. bear in mind that this car is "in progress" and was once upon a time a fruity piece of work and has had a bareshell change of colour respray in it's life. it has been basically stripped but all the essentials are there. i havent gone over it with a magnifying glass but some of the interesting stuff i've noticed are; boot lock welded up, bootlock mechanism reversed and a handle to open it behind the rear bumper. some sort of bracketry welded to the inside of the roof to maybe support a roof console of sorts - dunno about this one cos i cant find anything else to go with it. parcel shelf has been modified and has retractable seat belts.
it does need alot of work but the basics are all there to make something special.
if anyone is interested it owes me $650 and thats what i'll take for it. this is not negotiable as i could strip it & wreck it and get more for it. i'd rather someone rebuild it but if it gets no takers i will be stripping it and off the crushers it will go.
