Gday Snappy sadly i have not picked it up yet :( but a friend from work spoke to me a while ago about restoring her so i accepted on a few conditions ( clearing the garage up as i just finished my other baby a 1969 land rover) and there was a bit of a mess there. once i cleared up i spoke to the owner and he said he doesn't really have the time or the money to spend on it so he offered it to me and i accepted. making me the proud owner of her.but yeah shes been with the same owner for the past 20+ years at buderim QLD

Hope this helps
James

Quirky little early machines! I have a 62 resto on the go at the moment as well (When I am at home...).

Welcome onboard. Love to see what you're got when you get around to a few photos.

How far is too far?

Any pics?

My 61 will end up having everything below the doors replaced, plus the A-panels.

The poms don't know the meaning of too far gone.
