Geez, you Tasmaniacs have some pretty clean MB's down there.

I wish i had the skills to make a sweet set of headers :( they look awesome man :thumbup1: Also, how long did it take you to polish the distributor thing? That looks sweet too :D

Pretty sure they automatically resize when you use the upload attachment thing down the bottom, well mine do anyway.

Yeah the images are automatically resized if you use the forum image upload function. I'd suggest using it, that way the images stay around as long as the forum does - unlike photobucket, which has been known to disappear images for no reason.

I polished the dizzy in about 2 hours on my bench grinder with the proper mirror wheels. (i work with stainless and aluminium)

Im just painting the engine bay with cans, ill get the car done by a mate who sprayed my BT50 front bar, very good at what he does. (in commodore green)

As for seats i got them at repco i cant remember brand tho ill look at weekend bud for you. i no they are a tight fit as they just touch side windows and about 10mm between them but work great and are comforable. :)

I turned my old 1s into a twin seat thing for the shed, :lol: ill put a pic up 1 day of them

Oh ok. Is that Hothouse Green? (VE commodore colour, i think thats what it's called) I was thinking of doing my MB in that colour if/when i ever get around to fixing it up and respraying it.

That'd be sweet with the seats man, I was just curious at to what seats people have in their MB's. Since you got them from repco they're probably Autotechnica. And i gotta see this MB twin seat thing you speak of :lol:
