Well, after nearly four years, the car is registered and on the road.



These photos were taken on the weekend. I took the boy for his first FC trip. We went down to the local playground so that he could play on the swings while daddy used up a roll of film.



Just today I recieved the original number plates from vicroads that I ordered. So the car now proudly wears the GYS958 number that it was first registered with on 27-04-1959. While I was at vicroads registering the car I found out that you can get a rego search on a numberplate. I paid the $13.30 fee and they sent me the recorded history of the vehicles registration. It told me it was first registered on 27th April 1959 as a grey and white car with the chassis and engine numbers that it still has today. The rego was then transfered to the second owner on 26-08-1997 but the rego expired on 27-04-1998. It remained unregistered untill last Wednesday with its third owner, me.. Grin



The car drives absolutely beutifly. Even my wife who had never driven a car older than ten years found it a dream to drive. It sits on the road well, is quiet, and gets many looks. Even the vaccume wipers and standard headlights worked well on a rainy nighttime drive last Friday to Waragul and back. (120km trip.)

More pics to come......

Chow,
Brendan.

Congratulations Brendan, the car is BEAUTIFUL!!!

I remember when you first joined the forum - and the early pictures of the rusted sills and boot area, then the car repaired but in pieces. The end result is an absolute credit to your commitment.

WELL DONE AND ENJOY!

Cheers,

Craig.
