..and it's broken :( well, it's in bits and pieces actually. thanks to MrBob for the thread which led me to this little beauty for the total sum of $150 :? looks like no rust anywhere other than a bit of surface just behind the front wheel arches underneath the car so i'm exstatic with the find. that wont be a problem to clean up by the looks of it. poor car hasn't seen the light of day for 20 years!! originally from Lithgow it made its way to the Blue Mountains where it sat in a container for god knows how many years. it's a 05/76 car.

What are your plans for it?

i'm going to get it painted in gun metal grey for starters. put in a 1275, fix up suspension and brakes, whack in a couple of seats in the front and see how much it weighs without anything in it :lol: eventually i'm going to fit it out but for now i just want to get it running in an anorexic form :wink:
