So I finally caved and bought a Moke Project.
Its a project because.. well... alot of it is missing.
I was planning on waiting a few months or even a year before buying a complete Moke to restore.
But this project came up on Gumtree, it was fairly local, and I saw something really intriguing in the Gumtree Add Photos.
The side panels were laying on the ground in one of the photos, and it looked like it had a decal on it that said "FIRE UNIT"
I contacted the seller and he tells me that the PO told him, that it was the Fire Marshal Vehicle at the old Bendigo Speedway when it was in operation in the 1970's.
So anyway, I was hooked and it wasn't too expensive, so i bought.. hopefully I can confirm the story and return it to its former fire fighting glory.
Here are some picks of it on my mates massive trailer (the trailer was bought to move an old F100)
The floor pan is completed rusted out, same with the battery compartment... but the rest of the body appears to be quite good, so I was fairly pleased.
I'll probably spend the next few months until it warms up a bit trying to confirm the Fire Marshal story, and tracking down some of the missing parts.
So you might find some later pics of it about.
