Looking at ADRs to work out what shell I need. There seem to be three pollution ones; ADR 26 (Jan 72), ADR 27 (Jan 74) and ADR 27A (July 76).
In the beginning section in all three documents it states 'The Australian Transport Advisory Council has also recommended to the Commonwealth, State and Territory governments that the options available in ADR XXX - Vehicle Engine Emission Control, for motor vehicles which use unleaded petrol exclusively, shall only apply to motor vehicles manufacture on or after July 1 1985'.
If fitting an engine which does not require leaded fuel doesn't this suggest these ADRs don't apply? Or is is based on the original car (seems weird?).
Does anyone have a copy of the original ADRs? (the ones I have are ~1984)
Cheers,
Andrew

Noticed at the local wreckers they have 2 transits both with v4s, one auto one manual.
Out of interest as I know nothing about them, what gearbox and autos did they use behind them?
Quirky looking little engines, like baby v6's.

Read this one in the West Australian on Wednesday....
Story goes 100 cars were found in an old French chateau, including Ferrari, Bugatti, Maserati, Delahaye and CORTINA.
Haha made me smile seeing the old girl parked next to a Porche.

Hello Boys & Girls,
Over here on a working holiday Visa and love old Fords so thought I'd join up and maybe buy something while I'm over here. Come from just north of London and I'm currently in Victoria area working at various farms.
Got a Mk1 Fiesta back in England (Don't think you guys got them did you?) It's on coilovers, stripped out, bucket seats, engine from an RS1800 Fiesta, bored out slightly, cammed, ported & polished, Yamaha R1 bike carbs, Megajolt, Quiafe straight cut close ratio gearbox (5 speed) with matching ATB diff. Basically bloody fun to drive! Although she's been off the road for a considerable amount of time now! :'(
Here's a few pics from various stages;
