This dirty little girl is about to get a birthday... getting picked up tomorrow by a Tow truck and being taken to a shop in Glenfield to recieve a G200z Piazza 2L, 5 spd box, Twin IDF40s (recoed, just picked up today) Lukey Extractors, and a Gemini diff. Also will have all rust dealt to and will be refinished in satin black. Have been preparing her for collection past few weeks, had to degrease and re spray-bomb the engine bay, clean/degrease/paint front x-member and put back into car and generally just scratch around for the zillions of parts I need from my hoarders stash. Heres pics... (forgot to get some of carbs but will do, another top notch job from CSL) Bloody steering union doesn't reach column shaft... will have to measure other spares...

Taxes catch a lot of self employed people out - you get the money and forget to put some aside for the MAN! When you get sorted, put 35% of what you earn into the bank - that way you'll have the tax money and gain from the interest.

One of the main ones is I thought my finacial controller guy was doing the GST... turns out he hasnt filed from November Period onward. Apparently my wife paid an estimated one for the November period though so not as bad as I thought, just need to file it properly with an adjustment figure and also file the feb period... just may mean no toys for a few months combined with tax bill... oops. And Gordo, do you know if there are different lengths in steering columns in the chevette? The front x member came out of my chevette wagon. (has the piazza discs on it already) Have pulled the column out of wagon and will measure up against the one from the chevini once I pull that one out... seems strange tho.

AFAIK, the column lengths are the same - just three different steering wheel splines. What may have happened is the inner shaft has sheared the little nylon pin that holds in place - part of the collapsable structure - and it's slid up into the main column - try giving it a good yank down. Happened to me before.

Happened to me before. Of course... that should be easier than pulling whole thing out also now may not have to remove column to slide into union... (must remember to do this before Troy puts engine in!)
