i think DE plate are
i got the car in Rockingham though
its been all around WA judging by the receipts in the folder the car came with

[mcl1959]

My 3 tone FC came from Denmark. It also had DE number plates which was a weird WA thing where the cars from the towns throughout WA were given plates coded to that town.

oh well the rego inspection didnt do to plan
came away with a bit of a list

some small rust repair needed underside
uni joints
flexi brake lines front and rear
rear spring shackle bushes
and rear tyres

not too bad for a 50yr old car i guess

That's a good list concidering they would have all needed to be done in the near future anyway.
Congrats on getting 1 step closer......the list is now defined.
Regards
