Default time to hit the road

First pic shows the final stage reached, with only the bumper yet to be fitted. Good roofs were scarce even back then, so to keep out the rain whilst parked I rigged up a makeshift canvas top supported by a flimsy wooden frame.

With the project now driveable I came under increasing parental pressure to move it elsewhere, so they could finally retake possession of the backyard. Arrangements were made to park it in a sawmill in Wesburn belonging to a fellow blitz enthusiast, who owned a C15A at the time. Second pic shows preparations for towing; third pic passing through Yarra Junction; fourth pic at the sawmill in Wesburn; final pic on first test drive in nearby mountains.
