Hey,
looks like an okay care you have there.
With the ignition it should lift off with a screw driver (like a paint lid) and get some wires and hotwire it, what we did with dad's valiant and it worked fine.
Cheers, Pascal.

hahah good old nsw laws =) theres only one way to get around that one and thats to live in tassie =D hahah
but then the thing is all the good/half decent stuffs on the mainland so its a trip up and back to grab something good =) ohhwell

Take steering wheel off, indicator assembly. You will see ignition housing with a small slot in it. hold steering lock bar and push small screw diver in slot, ignition should be in the on position, there is a small clip that holds barrel in chamber, when you feel clip pull barrel out....do not let lock bar move or you will change start and acc positions

taking off the ignition cover is probably quicker and it doesn't stuff up anything.

hey would probly suit a 253 alot better would fit in alot cleaner and easier then a 308 but nice ute any way. i have a hg premier sedan that i have fully restored . with a clean 253 auto in it and it guns mate

dirttau you are 100% correct the only issue he might have is if he can turn the lock around to the on postion due to lack of keys.
if this is the case then you're in for a bit of a hard time yo can remove the complete housing by popping off the circlip under the steering wheel (be carefull its spring loaded and can take you eye out) then undo the 4 5/16 black headed screws you may have to drop the steering coloum down to undo the ignition switch which is half way down the coloum unplug the blinker and horn and bob's your uncle.
I do not reconmend doing this if you are not common with the world of spanners. it is not a job for a beginner.
would be cheaper to get a lock smith around if you can not turn the ignition to the on postion
good luck
