A bit of a wash and buff might bring this baby back to near new. Or not. :?

Maybe a bit of panel beating would be in order but nothing money wouldn't fix. :wink:

This was the only spot where the moss isn't growing and shows the potential in how well the paint could be cut back to showroom condition. :D

I grabbed the centre binnacle out of this beauty over 10yrs ago.
The old guy offered me the whole car but everything had already been ratted so here she still sits.


Also near Harrow is a mini that's been put about 6mtrs up into a tree to be used as a tree house.
When I'm down that way again I'll take a pic. :wink:

From memory, the old guy said that a front end loader rear ended it in Hamilton in the 80's. :shock:

Ah that would be a negatory on all accounts there Dean.
Jack the Dancer is present in all of the above, as well as the radiator shroud Louis.

It's like something you'd find rotting in a Welsh junkyard. :cry:

Ah well, put it down as another one lost completely, would have been good if something off it could live on in someone else's car.

Western Vic.
North West of Hamilton.
South West of Horsham.

It's not on any major road, just tucked in the Glenelg River valley.
Very beautiful area especially this time of year.
Great mini roads through the hills although very narrow, rough and with blind corners.
Oldest inland town in Vic. Apparently.
