Hi All
     
     I recently purchased this all original never been hit ,bogged or modified fe special.I was after a car that looks like a garden ornament but run and drives fine and i think this is it.I have no intentions of restoring it just bring it back too life with as little replacement as possible.I am replacing all rubber and hydraulic parts for reliability and safety.I will do as little rust repairs need to make road worthy so just structual (which is very little) and enjoy.
     I will post more pics as i go,cheers

Hi all,we have hit a milestone with old rusty,after 40 plus years out in a paddock under an awning it has started and even went for a spin (up the driveway 🖒) it stillruns.All the bushes are now been replaced front and rear ,handbrakes a goer too.Next on the list is too get him running on 6 not 4 cylinders and find a sqeeking noise in the top end, sounds like the rocker gear getting dry,must be some issue in the rocker gear losing oil to the shaft or something like that.
