Hi all just thought I would introduce my self,
My name is Doug and I have a 97 lane that is my pride and joy prity stock ATM apart from y pipe back exhaust and it's on LPG being a 302.
Have big plans for the old girl will be doing the phat custom typhoon body kit convert soon and want to put the 220 kw au tickford motor with the t5 convert.
Just got to find a motor and box at the right price.

Any help with sourcing parts or info would be a huge help

O also own an xm ute as a resto project as I have my panel beating papers
Cheers

Hey all updates I have decided to move on from the fairlane,needed somthing bigger and a bit cheaper to run,

Any how I am now the owner or a red au2 wagon stock as a rock ATM, have brought lowering blocs series 3 side skirts and a ts50 front bar to start with as they do look a bit plain in stock form.

In need of some one to do a chap 2 pack paint job as I don't get much time to my self these days with work.

I have hears the bust mods to start with on the au is induction and exhaust as they restrict everything, for any every day driver would running a cheap turbo system be worth the gains or should I just do na work to give it some more balls I really only want somthing with 170 ish kw's not a beast just some pulling power and a nice note

Is the au on gas? 5.0s are pretty damned cheap to run on gas, if the au is on petrol I can't see it being much cheaper to run, if at all...
