58 DD Panel

Post by zeuspig »

Hey all,
Although I don't have alot of photos at this stage as the camera is STILL getting fixed. I have these on my phone.

This is the panel I picked up a while back, it doesn't have any running gear and am after some suggestions on what I should run under the ol girl.

Frogsta dropped in today for a look and gave some suggestions, just chasing what ya all think? I want to get it off of the ground soon!!

Ye Gods Zeus! Plenty of work here.

Another nice find Mate. Where did this one come from?

Since you're restoring your other ride to such a high standard, are you all about getting this one solid but leaving it ratty?

I'm going to take you up on that offer of a beer in the next week or two and come and have a look at your precious metal.

Haha. Bit of a long story behind this one mate.

Will be a good story over a few beers.

She will be staying a rat and what a perfect base for one.

Give us a buzz when your free and drop on over.

Yeah mate sure was. Picked up from NSW, a place called Pretty Gully.

She has found a new home here on the Sunny Coast.

Not really, we put metal planks underneath her to protect it so it wasn't on its belly all the way up.

I need running gear now though. I am moving out of this house in a month so want to get her off of the ground so she is mobile.

Looks like a lot of work but definitely worth the effort.

My missus loves them.
Cheers & God Bless

Ended up getting all the doors open on the old girl that were seized up and gave her a clean out last weekend.
