You have to love pommie chrome, 30 odd yrs of use and they came up a treat at one stage they were painted black.After i took the paint off, and hit them with a buffing wheel thus is what i found.


UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear. HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall. TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

Nice work!  I'm not sure what your plans are for the interior, but should you ever re-trim those seats, I'll buy the original fabric from you.

Even shagged I'd still be interested in them should you ever upgrade, as I need some fabric to do repairs on mine.
