Refer to the ‘My Coupe’ thread. That ones a keeper...

No way I’d be using an LS! Here’s the Aeros as purchased years ago....

Thanks!! Actually the before condition was worse than I indicated... I had to attack it with flyspray (re spiders) & the vacuum cleaner first!

I have a set of 17” Oz Aero 3 piece wheels, but they need a lot of work ($) before they’d be good enough to fit! 270hp isn’t too bad so we’ll see if I can get it running. The FD was removed by the PO for some reason & he didn’t know what he was doing so it might be a challenge. Ultimately I...

I’ll get some better after shots when I’m able! BTW I’ve been told by a very reliable source that SEC & SEL fuel tanks are the same. Might come in handy if this ones horribly rusted on the inside. Lucky I have a few spares!

Here’s the one I’m selling before & after a thorough clean. Scrubbed up pretty well considering! All wheel arches were pressure washed with the wheels off. Unfortunately I forgot to take after pix of them after, but it was getting dark after spending most of the day on it. Afterwards I struggled...

She really was a mess!! All vacuumed up now & awaiting a full pressure wash after an oil & filter change. 16” AMGs recently fitted with aftermarket revised wheel bolts, but the wheels probably won’t be my final choice.

Looks awesome!

That’s always the problem! No help & no second pair of hands readily available... Although the neighbours came to the rescue not long ago!

Don’t do drugs kids...

No data, but I seriously don’t think those mods are of huge value when you consider cost vs benefit. The main issues restricting power gains are the manifolds & throttle.

Does it count if it’s no longer mine??? 🥴😉

This is an interesting one... I knew it could be ‘fun’ cause the filter housing had traces of silicone sealant on the outside. So after removing & cleaning it all I try to put the new filter in but the cap won’t seat properly. I begin to think I’ve been given the wrong filter until I have a...

A messy job made easier with a plastic sheet over the engine. The old adhesive wasn’t that strong & I was able to remove the majority with the plastic shovel, used as a large scraper. The rest I removed with a razor blade scraper. I’ll pressure wash it now to remove any other grease & debris...

For some weird reason I find these very cool! The rear computer setup must’ve been very advanced for the time since it doesn’t look too far removed from what we use now...

How very sad that we’ve lost him and several other cherished individuals along the way! Don’t let this be you!!! Finish those projects & get them out to enjoy life (says me)!! I wonder what happened to his car?

Before n afta pix. These wheels were corroded onto the hubs & it’s taken a lot of work to get to this stage! The brass wheel on the grinder is awesome! Note the aftermarket wheel bolts with radiused profiles & no plastic caps compared to genuine ones, so hopefully they won’t snap off, causing a...

I’m making initial enquires about having a small monument/plaque erected on or outside the site at Emu Bottom. Funded by MBCV or Hume City Council. Fingers crossed I can make this happen!!

I did finally find the ‘Against the Wind’ footage! Emu Bottom in 1978: And the link to the footage of course! Approx 34min in....

Info from the new TK member as mentioned in my previous post former Herald Sun motoring journalist, Peter Gavaghan, was also there on the day. BTW the Herald & Sun were separate back then... I’m not sure if he rode in the cars, or just covered the story. He did say MB were very controlling of...
