It's going to be great. So what''s the plan? What exterior and interior colours? What wheels and tyres?

You can be very proud of that, it's lovely. Well done. I bet it blows peoples minds when you go cruising!

That is a thing of beauty. Australia really missed out. The only two door we got back then was the ute.

well it's time for a new picture then, isn't it?

Here's a tip that I did. If you flip your spare wheel upside down, then you can use a shorter bolt to hold it in. You can also carry a spare jacket inside (a bag inside) the wheel for rain or cold. I love the look, but i just cant help feeling she needs another 1.5 inches of height at the...

Awww guys, this has to be one of the nicest offers EVER. But i've already received my Bosch GT40R, $42 AUD to my door. Granted, if it doesn't do 'tha job' then i'll be coming back to ya to see if the offer stands. So i've got replacement dizzy rotor, points set, coil and cap. already...

Thanks man, but those are really expensive options here in Aus. I'll stick with the Bosch GT40R i think. Folks on the Mopar forum here [in Aus] say it's better than stock . . .

Any tips? So my coil has packed it in. Should I go the Bosch GT40R, or the SU12R? Any prefs?

Thanks - i'll follow it up!

I have found Year One have replacement front quarter vent weatherstrips for early A 'verts and hardtops - does anybody know if the seals would suit my 1966 four-door? Otherwise, any tips for repairing my quarter vents? the wind noise coming off them is a real put-off at highway speed! Cheers.

Yeah, the '66's rule. Even in Australia!

you gotta set the video permissions to 'everyone'. if its just 'friends' or 'friends of friends' then thats who can see it. that's what i did to post mine. (gotta do an update on mine soon - got mah new white walls at last!)

i'll get a proper vid of it soon. my four year old is more likely to run away than hold the camera still! best sound EVER - 80km/h, second gear over-run rolling downhill through the Burnley Tunnel here in Melbourne. I swear it sounds like flames are spitting out from underneath the car...

The following model ('VE', 1967) was the first fully Australian designed Valiant. Well, it still takes a lot of US cues, but . . . The VC (mine) was a very short model run and is very much loved here for its unique style. It used the small early A floorpan while the VE stepped up the...

here's my stock slant six, with 70,000 miles, performance air cleaner, 2 1/4" system from stock manifold and electric exhaust cut-out just under passenger seat.
