If I have a car without lichen but want lichen what do I have to do? High humidity under a shady tree perhaps?

stick some lichen on or at least park it where it grows

Diamond seem to be out of business, aero race wheels seem like a good alternative

[Kiahatsiu]

Cragar D holes?

[Mr Purple]

What are the rims on the Datsun?

They're Aero Race Wheels:

Though Bassett wheels and Cragar Ds do pretty much the same thing, and they're all $50-60 each.

They weigh a lot, and the $300-400 postage a set is the killer!

Bassett:



Hell yeah!

For a guy who likes his cars to look pristine, I like this a lot.

A very minor update.
Cleaned the car out today and popped open the glovebox and it was chockers with paperwork.
Looks like it was last driven in the late 70s. Also had the manual in there, bit disappointed that its never had the log book filled in... Does that mean its never been serviced?
I wonder if the 57k on the odo is actually correct afterall.

Oh and in true PF style, there is a rock wedged on the go pedal. Also found a fair amount of shotgun shells, so looks like it may been a roo shooter or something until they got bored of it.

why not a set of fat simmons on it? And get a replacement door , paint a light coat original colour on bottom half of door and leave top half bare metal and wet down every few days , leave outside in sun.. It'll rust soon enough , oh , and run your hand over it to help accelerate the surface rust ( when your hand is sweaty )

[Sturmovik]

Some crap that I found in the car

I must have the only one of these in the World? I cant find any pictures of any others on the web, and theres bugger-all info about them.



What the hell is this thing?



And theres not much info about this either on the web

that neptune oil - may be a real old 60's survivor - bet nobody would knwo what it was now


but there used to be a neptune racing team in the 60s in australia


norm beechy used to run a S4 EH holden + mustang

peter manton a mini and jim mkeown a lotus cortina in various classes in australia in the mid sixties - all in neptune oil colours -and with alittle logo -as full on advertising wasnt allowed :


this is a model - but you get the idea;


i assume neptune oil either got gobbled up - or went bust ...


cool action shot here ;





http://aussieroadracing.homestead.com/Stanley2.html
in the first one is the EH - and both cars have 'neptune racing team taped over'



these ones carrye full on advertisng (cams of yesteryear would of had a fit ...imagine if they saw V8 taxis' team vodaphone cars or similiar now...)



the S4 EH still exists (at least i think its the orig) - have seen it at sandown historics as a display car

[big_pete]

I could use some Super-Lube

[9triton]
