:confused: Hi All
This series 1 I aquired about twenty odd years ago. I thought at the time Ill fix it up a bit, I stripped it down (and I mean stripped) stored all the parts in boxes all labelled. Then started on something else. Now Im going to start again. Hope I still have everything. I know I have two of quite a few parts. I think its a series 1 88. 1956. I know Ill need some help and this looks like the place, Ill try to keep as original as I can. Photos when I learn how to include.

G'day squashie,
It's just a big meccano set. As long as you've got all the bits (or most of them) you'll be able to rebuild it. Have a search around here and you will see many doing similar.
We have a rule about pictures though. :angel:
So dig out your shots and let us see 'em :D:D:D
Welcome to aulro!

Here are some photos taken in the mid 80s since then I have moved out from Melbourne to Central Victoria. The landy has been stripped and now I start again. I had the springs reset, a new core fitted into the radiator. Stripped the firewall and started to paint. Then I thought why am I spraying this blue when it was originally green. Stop and start again later. (its now 20 years )

The easiest way is probably to click on the paperclip icon when you write your post. You can then attatch them.
Otherwise you could create an account at www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com) and upload them there and then link to them in your post.

.......
If you do this, look at the list of acceptable sizes - you are very likely to have to resize you pictures before attaching them. It is not very friendly in that it does not tell you why, just does not attach them if they are too big!
