sign up to photobucket www.photobucket.com

if you can attach pics to an email then you'll be able to attach files to your photobucket folder...

then all you do is copy the link to your file off the site and add it in here...

About 10 years ago, there used to be an old 440 Cortina getting around Noosa. Tubbed, engine plate & a 428 big block in it. It had Vic rego, but the owner was living in Noosa. It was a real sleeper, with steel stock-looking rims (but really wide) & a fake 1" tailpipe hanging out the back. I remember that he had to take it back to Victoria because the Main Roads wouldn't register it up here in Queensland!

protd, that is a very very nice example of a TD you have there.

My old man's first car was a blue TC Wagon 250 x-flow with a the borg warner single rail box. He drove it for nearly 25 years before it died

The car was never tubbed and it was from Queensland not Victoria. I bought that car about five years ago. I had a hell of a time getting rego for it in vic. Was built by Shane Baker. I dont know where it is now some young bloke bought it and was going to race it.

It was definitely tubbed & definitely Vic rego & plates. He came to our workshop to see if we could help him get it registered in Qld.
