Thanks for all the assistance in identifing this old girl. I tried to start it last weekend but the starter motor is faulty so i jammed the old crank handle in , tipped some fuel down the carby and give it a swing. All i managed to do was bruise my elbow as it backfired. My old mate in the photo thought it was a great joke and wouldnt stop laughing. In reality it bloody hurt , i have pulled the starter out and dropped it down to an auto electrician to repair.
I find myself sitting in my office day dreaming about how it must have looked when it was brand new and what the first owner was thinking when he took delivery and how i would love to get it back to that condition. Hope this passes soon as i am not getting much done, In reality its a big challenge for me as i have 3 kids who are all good at sport and a job that takes me all over Western Qld so i am away from home on a regular basis.and i already have 3 older cars in the shed. For now i will get it running so i can move it around, give it a good spray with fish oil and keep it under cover. Once i have found the chassis numbers i will post along with a youtube link so you can see it running. cheers Obby
