Well i`ve been longing for a series shorty for a long time .
One popped up in what is it worth and i jumped on it ;)
It is a 1972 s111 swb all standard running gear which is what i wanted no holden crap engine:censored:.
The job will not be a full resto but more a tinker and repair the important things also i have been warned about other job`s around home that need my attention first:angel: .
The engine runs well the brakes will need wheel cylinders also a clutch slave , The front chassis irons will need replacing (rusted) and all spring and chassis bush`s and so on ;)
The shortie drove onto and off the trailer under its own steam with stinky stale fuel:eek:
Swmbo wants to name it not that i care for naming cars but we do these things to keep the peace i guess
A couple crappy ph pics for those sticky beaks:p

Nice one Chris, look forward to updates. Next time I'm over that way, would love to take a look in person. :)

Can I suggest "Arrow" or "Broken Arrow" - decal on the side sorta looks like an arrow :)

It's a nice looking shorty. I don't care what anyone says they are impractical but awesome fun!

The last shorty I had was named "The Gay Nightclub" because after driving it for any distance you got out of it deaf and had a sore arse!

Have fun. :D
