Persistance mate. Been a few years since that sunday trying to look at it ;) good to see its gone to you and not left to sit in the storage place under lock and key. Has much been lost from its time in lock up.

Not much been pinched surprisingly, but the rot has gotten worse for sure! After a bad fiberglass rebuild sweating out the already rusty bits and getting swamped in the Brissy floods the old girl is in dire need of some TLC.. nearly everything there tho- late 63 small back window, ice pick doors, fried eggs.. a real bitsa - seats all there, glass and handles present, man there's some rust too, did i mention that :?: :lol:

couple more from collection, not had time to empty her out yet, hope to get ten minutes at the weekend for a closer look. unfortunately some rubbery paint has been used over rust and all over the inside of the floors that has made the rust way worse :?

had a bit of a clean up while i was waitin on glue drying on the 55... tray is way better than i had hoped for but the front small section needs replacing and the headboard is absolutely rooted, unfortunately someone had used what looks like some kind of marine sealer over all the rusty bits and it has just accelerated the rusting process

the front floor is toast and the rear floor is going to have to come out too, some creative fabrication needed on the passenger side where the rotten tray has caused some horrors and then theres those gates...... :shock:
