[Michele]

I haven't taken my own photos yet so will try to get some better pics up soon, meanwhile I have posted some pics from the ad where I bought it.

Circuit Open Wheeler Division: FH Formula Holden

Make: Hocking

Year: 1992

Engine: Holden V6

Transmission: 5speed

Weight: 600

Although they say the chassis is a Hocking, I've been informed by some knowledgable locals that its a March 87B which was modified by Hocking in 1992.

I've only got slicks for it atm and its raining I wanna get it to Wakefield... SOON!!

Thanks Liz... you were making me nervous, so I thought I had better start getting serious

Michelle has bought a Transformer!

Does it have a Transformer name or are you going to leave that up to your trusted SAU colleagues?

Well done, these things are a joy to work on in terms of accessability. Takes half the time or less to do everything ie change pads, springs, wheels, dampers, alignment. You might still go temporarily mad trying to get it right...but it'll take less time.

[lingeringsoul]

yeah, does it transform?

[Michele]

yeah, does it transform?

Yes, it transforms me into a lunatic

[Morgs]

[D_I_F]

I hope to run it at the hillclimb if its high enough and not too noisy. Its only 40mm from the ground. I also have some fittings/modifications to pedals/seating so I can reach the pedals and support/lift my feet (block maybe?) and I need a new harness because the one thats in it has expired. But if its ready in time, then I would like to take it.

What open wheeler are you running?

I might be going to wakefield this weekend in it aswell, but its sounds like yours is a little way off.

Its a 1963 renmax.

Its my oldmans but he upgraded and left it for me

I plan to buy it in the next few years if he will let me. He loves the car to bits.

Its only a little sucker with no wings, about 4 years to early (which i love) with a 1L cosworth in it.

Have you run it at the Hillclimb before? I don't remember seeing you out there, if you have, apologies if I didn't recognise you... when did you run out there last?
