Well done,
If you want a reminder drive now and then give us a call. We are in Green Bay.

I had actually thought of extending the mortgage to buy it but that would make 5 cars in the two person family.

Woody, toanswer your question "would the AU RWD rimms fit.

I would imagine that the offset is wrong, however the EL-EF and previous models may well be on the money.

Barney's wheels are Falcon offset but remember he has a Sapporo and not a widebody Starion

All Falcons have used the 5 x 114.3 stud pattern.
Pre AU Falcons used a RWD 6mm offset, AU and BA use a FWD offset, figure unknown.

Yes they may be agricultural and seem to fend off technology with every step and guzzle fuel like it is water and belch l;arge volumes of carbon monoxide and be made of iron (until recently) but I cant help but smile when someone nails it in a v8 with a good sounding exhaust.

Oscar, Can you price up 5 stud hubs for a JA 83 Starion for the front and rear. The half shafts are the 4 bolt versions. If it is affordable then possibly Vern and I could get the one package sent at the same time to save on shipping. Vern - up to you but have been thinking about this for some time,...

they are trained to believe everyone is a crook, even their own family and friends. No fuses blown here DUDE, I am just pointing out your over simplified opinion of police. I refer to police as people not as an organisation. To some extent you are correct, everybody is a potential rapist, murderer,...
