I just bought it a few weeks ago. Its a Step nose with a 2 litre in it. Maybe I bought it cause it had a set of MOMO wheels on it. Anyway,I have been fixing things on it for the past few weeks and decided to drive it home. Not much fun in Sydney traffic. After dinner,I took it for a long drive. Went down Bobbin Head and down the freeway back home.Approx 30 min. Car has long legs. Feels like it has an extra gear. I am thinking it has an Auto LSD diff in it. Will put it on the hoist later and count the teeth. The car was a joy to drive with this diff ratio. High speed and low RPM. Feels like it has an extra gear. Great for cruising on the open rd. I feel it is a bonus having this diff ratio. Yeah,,i own many 105 cars,but this was a heap of fun. Anyone else out there have an auto diff in their cars ? I guess it great to rev them past 7500 RPM as most of mine do,but this car is happy as a cruiser. Too many cars and not enough garages. Might keep this one for a while. After the great drive last night,it gives me more enthusiasm to play with it more. Robert Well,i needed a car to drive home last night so I took my 105 Gt Junior home last night.

I am looking for a project engine. Ideally i'd like a Twin Spark but would be happy with a 2L 105 motor too.

Does not need to be in great condition as i'll be rebuilding it myself.

If you have a donor car with a TS i'd be happy to take this off your hands too.

If anyone has any leads that'd be great.
