The chassis has rust it looks like somebody has stood in the middle of the roof there is several parts of corrosion meets rust and of course there's that red lump in the middle of the engine bay which I'm not a huge fan of but if I have to I have to anyway the question is to fix or not to fix or just say alas poor Yorick as I push it in a hole.
Your thoughts.
Thanks Roland

If anybody out there has any idea on what year this old girl was built I'm thinking probably late sixties but I'm not 100 % sure thanks Rowland

I was looking at the RH blinker lens. To my eyes it's good for another hundred thousand.

I'm tipping it's a 1961 model from the chassis number.

Looks to be in better shape than mine was when I picked it up.
Somebody here will take it on if it's not your cup of tea. Definitely don't push in a hole...

fix, fix, fix,
you're not too far away from me,
ideally, send the engine away to holden lover land, it isn't that hard to find an original landy engine, swap the diffs out for 3.5 rangy centres to get some road speed and take the roof off, tip it upside down on the grass and jump on it, if it doesn.t improve it, get a soft top for it.
chassis rust, talk to eric, 'the 109' on here, he is a magician!
happy to come and look at it some time
