New addition to the fleet - Marfa (to go with Arfa)
She's a 1957 88 with a running holden 202, bought for parts. Most panels shot (or missing) but bulkhead almost rust-free from what I can see and springs and running gear seem to be in good order.
She seems to sit very high but spring shackles don't seem over-long - could be the 7.50x16s or maybe I'm just used to my others sitting low on flat springs. Huge gap between axle and buffer - what should this be?
Also trying to find out if I can transplant springs from an 88 onto an 86. I have read that the bulkhead has minor changes between the models but fits same, so plan to do this, and hoping I can do same with springs. Does anyone know?
Anyway - here's some pics
Cheers
