John.. I grew up in Parkes as a kid many years ago still have family in the area.... My beddy got the name Luigi from my girlfriend as it looks like something the old wogs would drive around doing their plumbing or concreting.... lol But I recon Luigi looks cool.. I will be doing a resto on it soon starting with the motor.. It runs a 202 red but I have a stage three head, cam and roller rockers to go in... I have the ol three speed box in it floor shift... I love the nesalgic of the gear box so that will stay.. But to help with ratio problems I have used a ford AU diff with disk brakes in the rear and it lets the motor wind out nicely... Once I get stuck into the body work I will put up some post so people can see the progress... Once I work out how to put up photos of course...lol
Luigi and I have plenty of fun ahead and I hope to share it on here... by for now

My name is Leo and I live just out of Ballarat Victoria.... I work for local Government annoying good folk but best of all I love driving my shorty Luigi... It got that name cause it looks like something that the ethnic plumbers would drive around in the 70's.. I made a few mods over the years and still got plenty of ideas to come...
It is sad that no one appears to have done a real streeter one of these.. Mine has a invertation to the shed once the weather warms up for a fresh coat of paint but the next thing id the duel Keg fuel tanks set up on it.. My misssus is not to keen on him but she is comming round..
I have had it for five years and she got in for a drive for the first time a few months ago...
My daughters love him and love it when I pick them up from school... My youngest sits there telling me to go faster...
I hope to put up some picks once he's had a new coat of paint and get out and do a few more car shows to show it off..
I look forward to meeting up with some folk on here and maybe do a local run some time.. Cheers till then

I need help to sort out an electrical problem. . I had the truck in reverse for a period of time with the ignition on.. when I went to start the car the reverse lights went out.. and alternator light has come on.. now I have no wipers or indicators.. no fuses have blown.. I am wondering if there is a larger fuse somewhere else.. any help would be great

spent the day out looking at the rear of mine and found I could remove 2 of the springs... made no differnce to the hight. Thanks for the photos hey help but yours dosn't have the big rubber stoppers and mine has both shackles removed... I guess if I can get the shacles, put them back in and lay the diff over the top... That will bring it down.. might have to book a day off work for that job.. thanks for your photo's and advice...

I have a Ford AU diff fitted and it wont fit on top of the springs so It is sitting under the sping.. The springs that are in it have 10 leafs... the standard vac spring has 6.. I have looked around here and the only place that will do the spring redution want a fortune... (Ballarat area)so it is cheaper to find a set of van springs and fit those... The tray sits up High at the rear by about 20% and as much as it looks cool with the fat mags I want to be able to use the tray..... Ps the AU diff gives me great ratio for the highway and topend speed... thanks guys.... Any help would be great

Thanks Frank... not to sure if there was a difference in length of the spring but the springs I have on it at the moment make it sit up high...I was hoping to see If a van spring would fit A short wheel base...
