Mike,
At the moment I have 2 Homebushs ...1 a complete roller I bought off Fleabay 8mths ago(bargain priced)...The other is a COMPLETE BODY around 6yrs old.. at the at the moment sitting on what was a RCM chassis that has been completely re-jigged...this is going and a purpose built space frame not too far removed from a JBL on its way!!
Reasons for the Homebush fascination....
*Pricing was Great!!!!
*Body was being produced By a Well known and
* MINIMAL body prep on his bodys and re-enforced in stress areas upto 10mm.
*Inner guards and Boot are formed and finished well though front inners are profiled for his Torana based Chassis.
* Styling..
*Wheel arches have a nice formed lip.
*Though one of the Vent holes is around 30mm out of posi to the other side,I have corrected.
*nicely shaped HardTop available.
*NO build manual as such ...
*No real support except for a phone call to Mr. Crane and a willingness to answer any query!...With Doug Pearce about anything is fixable!!!
*2nd Car Chassis..
* is Torana based Ladder /Spaceframe.
a good geometry to work with.(Peter Duncan's SNAKEN seems to suggest it's a good platform to work with!)
*Live axle rear.
So I hope this MEETS the definition of constructive INPUT..
