if i were to buy a round nose to do up the chassis of the car, so i can keep the clubby going, can i transfer the engine, dash, seats, over? or is there some nack to it ? (might be a stupid newb question but aint this place wat its for )

Most things will transfer over without problem, except obviously the grille.
Try and get a car with the same type of suspension as what the clubby has.

ok awsome, would there be issues with the 3 guage cluster as opposed to the single centre mounted one in the roundnose ?

the reason for going for a clubman over a round nose was simply the fact i wanna mount a 7" touchscreen where the centre speedo cluster is.. and the clubby was there for the right price..

It's not real hard to move the centre speedo over to the right, if you make a custon dash from ply or MDF.
I did it in 1968, using a Morris 1100 (longer) speedo cable.
Better than those Clubby things they call instruments, that nobody has parts for...

i kinda like the clubby Speedo,.. iwould assume the round noses are in mph in stead of KMph wich would drive me up the wall

Can get either. Bigwheel Moke ones were KMH, later centre speedos from UK have both denominations.
Mine is 130MPH/200KMH.

<edit> NEW centre ones are still available ex UK, not so Clubby ones-

ahh awsome , in that case bring on the round nose...

are theyre any other compatability probs besides the subframe slight issue

No. We have a 67 roundnose with Clubby twin circuit brakes and rear subframe, it went straight in.
Front hydro subframe now has rubber cones in it instead of hydro displacers, and Koni shocks all round.

the subframes... clubby to roundnose is ok ...roundnose to clubby is a no-no. cant propperly remember why but it doesnt work i know that much

The subframes bolt up identically...either way.

As he said. All Oz made cars from 1961-1978 (end of production) had identical fixing.
Only difference is the dry front subframes have studs in top and packing plates on them, the wet ones have bolts and no plates. But they all fit up the same to the body.

Rears all fit the same, in fact for quite a while dry cars used wet type subframes which still had holes for the hydro hoses.
