Cottees' 1977 Chrysler Lancer LB resto

[ddt]

thought I would weigh this up against current rego prices. My hardtop is out of rego at the moment and it is going to cost me $205.00 to put 3 months rego on it.
$205
Thats a 260% increase in 16 years. INSANE

Yep, or 6.1 % per year (compound) -which is twice the 'official' inflation rate. hooray.
That means you can expect rego to double every 12 years.

ahhhhh Australia.....the pride themselves in running a country that deemed one of the fairest in the world!!


Yet somehow they can justify all these increases and tax....they might as well legalise theft

hehe,
well, everyone wants the govt to do different things in order to get their vote.
As a result, we get more everything (roads, police, hospitals, schools, etc..) but it's our future tax increases that pay for it because after the one-off expense; there's new ongoing maintenance costs that weren't there before.

Cottees,
are you still considering this LB resto project??

I am leaning towards scrapping the LB, and concentrate on the LC and GN. The LB may be too far gone for a street car, but might be ok for a track car.

track car maybe but take alot of chopping BUT
i have never seen a fiber glass lb before??

[orangelancer]

track car or khana car even. strip the interior, cage, bog the rust and cheap coat of paint, running 4g32 and let the fun begin

[Scorpma82]

i was thinking a fibreglassed track car.....based along the lines of an <2L sports sedan
