Hi from Aus - new 79 LC owner
Posted: Sun Apr 26, 2015 7:39 pm
Greetings from QLD Australia, names Taz and i just picked up a tidy 79 LC liftback off a mate.
Car is so far all stock. It has been manual converted off a parts car (with a bit of fab work needed) and a few other old components replaced. Its all round in good nick, with it getting finished off at the local mechanics for the wiring needed to get it going again - so many custom wiring jobs done over the years and with the swap it was just easier to get all necessary wiring re-done.
Im a fourth year mechanic and never had much experience with carby's and older cars so this is a good learning curve for me, currently waiting on a carby rebuild kit to take it apart and rebuild it.
As of now i plan on keeping it mechanically stock, pending my thirst for power later on for a 63T swap, although ive heard good things about a decent tuned 32 so who knows.
Anyone else here in brisbane with an old classic? Dont see too many these days unfortunately.
