Re: Speed limit 60
I was a "ten pound pom" I lived in the Kingston/ Woodridge area when we first emigrated , then moved to Red Hill when I left home, this was back between 1973 and 1980.
I used to work a lot of venues around town like the Queens hotel, Pipps night club and the old Cloudland’s ballroom in Bowen Hills, the Playroom, Bombay Rock and the Jet club on the Gold Coast, we used to see rock and roll George cruising around town in his old Holden (as I remember it was an FC or FJ I) on most Friday and Saturday nights. Lots of memories from those days but this is all ancient history and probably doesn’t belong here. |

Re: Speed limit 60
With work about to start on my pickup in the next week or so, thought i'd have a play in photoshop and see what a few of the minor changes im makin will look like. Basically just shaving off anything thats in the way. Wasnt able to get it lower, im not that good on photoshop yet!!

Re: Speed limit 60
Havent been here for a few weeks, so heres some updated pics of my 60. Myself and a few of the guys from my club decided to do a one day repaint, so i thought a satin finish of the original colour would be the go. So 6 hours later and $91 in materials we had it painted, pinstriped and some quick logos on the doors for a bit of an ol skool look.

Re: Speed limit 60
Wow, love the door art. Great job.
And, if you don't mind a dumb question from a "yank," I thought I had heard that you couldn't tag a car in Australia unless it was right hand drive.

Re: Speed limit 60
Thanks Bill! In my state (Queensland), you can register a left hand drive vehicle but it has to be at least 30 years old. We can have either a full registration (unlimited use) or a concessional/club registration at a much discounted rate but restrictions on when/where it can be driven, and fitment of safety belts. Its pretty much the same in all states of Australia now.

It was a 87 Corvette and I guess it was easy to do the conversion on because of the completely digital dash and the rack and pinion. Thanks.

Re: Speed limit 60
That would be right, this system has only been put in place within the last 10 years, but only for 'classic' vehicles of 30 years old or more, anything earlier still needs to be converted to right hand drive. There are quite a few companies in Australia that specialise in left to right conversions.
Cheers. |

Just out of interest, the roof is still candy green, we just 'wrapped' it with a high quality white vehicle vinyl as used in the sign industry. If i ever want it change it, just park it in the sun, peel it off and 10 mins later, the roof is candy green again! Quote:
