The C110

Yeah good price I know it sounds like a fair bit, but ive been in the hunt for sooooooooooooo long Best price has been $130 At the weekend some guy was almost going to 'give' me one [as in a few bucks], but he then had a chat to his son who was, shall we say a 'little' more literate and the deal was off...bloody knowledgeable kids I heard 240 and $300 from other wreckers earlier in the day...

Cheers Michael, Well todays ecapade did end up yeilding some positives...Such as a 65' Bluebird badge [hey it was $4] and an electronic dizzy that was allegedly out of an aussie r30 but looks like its the zx item...In any case it was only $90 so im happy

Yeah shes a bit of a beauty hey, Dont sweat it, if you cant find one ill dig one up somwhere...Just arrived home from trip #1 to wreckers - i suspect there will be many more. All of the Osborne Park wreckers stock nothing before 1986...sigh. Looks like ill be venturing into the waaaaaaaay outer suburbs [malaga, landsdale]...

Gday all, Im in the market for some rear quater panel Skyline badges to fit a c110. Also, perhaps some smilarily placed 'gt' badges if possible? And at a long shot a rear light assembly panel 2000gtx badge? Any help appreciated, Regards Tom

Damn i want to put that on my list too (= I saw a 240c in perth the other day, didnt look too bad at all. It just happened to be a jdm model too, as the fender mirrors suggested. I know this is continuing the thread hijack but what is the japanese moniker for the 240c?

Its pointless i know, but Lucky Bastard!

Whoa age wars going on here, id say ive got the youngest (= I agree with lachlan in that the price does seem a bit steep, but if theyre new...i may still be interested. The ebay deal does seem best at present though. Nice custom job, Jim! Where did you get the pic? I realise now, yes all the fruit around them is what i want! So a complete panel swap would be ideal [provided the panel is in good shape]. Whoops, just checked, jeez im slow all over for the ebay item. I trust someone on these forums made the lucky purchase?? Tom

A plethora of information waiting for me! All sounds well, Bruce, im still interested based on your quote, so as soon as he uncovers one give me a yell (= Oh and apologies for the lack of a pm, ive been in the midst of moving house the past few days! Im interested to hear about that K in WA, Mr Camo [soz, dont know your real name] So far since being interested in the cars ive tallied eight cars, including my own, in wa and none have looked better than woeful. Rust appears to be the number one enemy of the c110 [as it is of many 30 yr old cars], but a marjority of those eight cars were in the final stages of a rust destruction [one car had a visible hole in the drivers door as large as a human head!]. Currently in the Quokka there is an ad in the 'wanted' section calling for c110 coupes in 'any' condition. Perhaps a restoration at hand? I have not seen a coupe in wa yet... Tom

Ah yes indeed, but i mean on the coupe, the outer is larger than the inner, thats waht im after (=

Hey it wasnt alan this time! God i wished i lived on the east coast sometimes...But why on earth a Leyland v8?!?!? Absoloute blasphemy...Id really love to see how the project comes along, but i guess its all a bit unconfirmed as you said. All very interesting to hear anyway (=. Cheers for the link, Lachaln. I hate to see when beautifully kept and restored cars get annihilated in the targa! But its cool it made an appearance, i wonder how it went prior to the crash...?

Hah, if only i was on the east coast and the shipping was worth it...id love to replace my sedan lights with some tasty coupe lenses...

Hey that would be great!! Umm i imagine it would be farily inexpensive? But yes go ahead, you know how much theyre worth and obviously youre not going to be convinced into spending an exorbitant amount on it. Ill pm you about payment and all the rest, cheers once again. Tom

Id have to say the Ferrari 250 Lusso. More beautiful than a gto...

Keep the 60' and 70' performance japanese cars coming, whenever one is posted someone [usually alan] comes up with interesting tidbits regarding said cars. I wonder if anyone has seen one is Australia? Hmm...

This thread has thrown up some incredibly invaluable information [ahh anal alliteration]! Thanks to all who have participated, ive found it always fascianating to read new posts. -Tom
