Hello,
I've just joined the MMAuk and I've already been impressed by the help I've received. I recently bought a 1974 South African Dodge SE (same as Australian Chrysler CH & CJ). I wasn't looking to buy one of these, but it turned up locally at a good price so I took a gamble and bought it. I didn't know anything about these cars before hand, but after a bit of Internet trawling I realised that I had bought a rare car, but I could buy parts from Australia and that it shares some parts with American cars. But I couldn't find information about which American car parts fit my car. Luckily I found Moparuk and all is now clear.
Just like to say thanks to Pete, Matt and David for they're advise and to Martin for setting me up on the club forum.
I'm making a list of parts needed to bring the car up to scratch, hopefully some of you can help me find the parts I need.
I look forward to seeing some of you at club events.

Welcome Phillip. I have posted pics of your car as I know the posting of pics can be tricky until you get used to it. It does look truly stunning.
