Re: GD rat

My rat, who I now know affectionately know as 'Mugly' is up for sale on eBay.
I have massively enjoyed my time with Mugly, but have my teeth sunk into a 60's Mazda ute project and sadly don't have the space for two projects.

old Mitsubishi seat interchange

I have a 1967 Mazda ute. It's a bit of a frankenstein of different models, and apparently it has some cool old bucket seats from a Mitsubishi GTO (they are embossed with a GT logo). The ute's originally had a bench, but it's long gone. I really like the seats, but they are pretty well shagged. Does ...

GD galant contact breaker points gap...

Anyone know what it is exactly? I can't find it in my manual/Google/forum search, just phrases 'adjust the points to the specified gap.'
Thanks in advance.

Re: GD rat

Waxing is a great idea - cheers. Although tempting, Ill probably leave it stock-as-a-rock, at least until the roadworthy prerequisites are long gone. I'm imagining that although I might get pulled over now and then, if the car is sound mechanically/structurally there is no grounds for a defect. If i...

Re: GD rat

Anyone know if I can slightly increase wheel/tyre size will without scrubbing?
There's a lot of 195/65/R14 wheels about for sale - is that going to be too tall/wide?

Re: GD rat

Tons of cleaning today. Then: http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/w665/drewmason3/IMG_1084_zps4cab0fa8.jpg Got those front seats in. They were originally blue, so I sprayed them. Almost wish I didn't now... http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/w665/drewmason3/IMG_1083_zpsc59b97ae.jpg MIGed up a small...

Re: GD rat

Yep, she's a bit weathered. The joke is she IS very straight (aside from the bumpers), there's almost no rust, and she's mechanically sound. I don't think it'll even make for a particularly challenging RWC. It'll be interesting to see how much attention it gets from the PO-PO considering she'll stay...

GD rat

Hi all,
I just won a very cheap, very ratty GD Galant on eBay. I am going to try get it registered and legal, but keep the rat look.
I am definitely going to need a front driver's seat though for RWC though, can anyone point me in the right direction, preferably in Vic.
Cheers!
