this area dumb thing was it had a full open front so he could have extension
ladders poke out. It also had full sheeted doors on ...

There is a pale aqua rag top  getting around the Eastern suburbs of
Melbourne. Great looking bodywork. I have been trying to work out how it was
done. Maybe a ute or panel van matched up to a rear cut from a sedan?
Has anyone seen it?

I don't get it, they have less people than just Victoria, yet they get
3 more NISSAN's than us? Weird

My Father is contemplating buying a UHF radio to put into his motor

Here's a question for any experienced Auto Elecs.

Gregory's manual and only got as far as trying to release the aircon
drive belt. It's got a tensioning pully with a single bolt to adjust

The one I've got has a switch to select between
50kHz or 200kHz tuning steps FM, or 9kHz/10kHz
for AM. I'm not enough a looser to ever bother
with AM radio. Posting/reading newsgropes fulfills

Need help in fixing the interior light in Toyota Corolla CSI.

A little bored the other day so I was using Google's image search and

  My EL has always had a habit of coughing and spluttering into life if
I start it on a warm day and it hasn't been used for 12 hours or so.  So
