wrecking a 69-70 carb 164

Well finally it's happening...!!
I'm wrecking a 69-70 carb 164. After 17 years of service the body is finally --- Stuffed -- Not rust but physical breakup and discovery that it had a big bang in the past that leaves it's alignment somewhat suspect. LHS door closures (B pillars) are different!
Pity but not worth more effort...
So the suspension and 5 speeed gearbox are being rebodied into a 1972-3 injected body. Engine will be changed too!
I'm tempted to update the injection for fun.. But lets get it going first.
The old engine may be tickled and have an injected head fitted. But well see.
The mains are a bit worn as a result of a duff oil pump drive.;
Bugger.

Bliss is a new backside!

One of the wonders of wrecking a car whose body has failed... (rust is not the cause in Oz.. just fatigue and old accident repairs all welds are letting go!!!) is the bits one can transplant to a good body.. My 145s.
Fitted new King springs, Antisway bar and Bilstine shock absorbers gave me a new 145s. Bloody thing handles.
No more snow plows. or clunks or swaying or,....
Just goes were pointed.
Bugger no more excuses fro wandering over the road.
