Left hook is good for something afterall! Doing anything else while you're over there?

I haven't done that many hours yet Ash. Certainly be good to get the firewall part finished though. :roll:
I was going to paint it myself but a rapidly expanding business means i don't have as much time as I'd like. Also means I don't have much spare money to pay anyone to do it either. catch22!

I meant to add here that when I was in the US, the highest octane fuel they had at the pump was 93. So any premium I put in here will be a vast improvement.


Actually no. Aussie fuel ratings are RON. U.S. are an average of MON and RON so MON+RON/2.
So in fact 93 in the U.S. is about the same as our 98.

Just out of interest, is the car you're importing stock as it came from the factory? I read in your earlier post that it has an Edelbrock package. If this is the case, did you have any problems with getting the import permit? I've been hearing and reading a bit about people wanting to import cars from the US, but as soon as anything is modified outside of stock specs, they're getting knocked back, unless the modification was undertaken prior to 198x.

Cheers for the info. That's amazing that they're worried about how it looks, rather than how it goes. I hope you can get it here and enjoy it sooner, rather than later.
