    Going back tomorrow so will dig through the shed & see what we can find.

    It is a DH83 Fox Moth fuselage. I thought everyone had one in the shed rafters.

    Yes a great find and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't envious. Not for sale by any chance?
    Overheating issue could be a seized thermostat if its been sitting that long.

    Incredible find - the kind of thing you dream about. I have a soft spot for unmolested 2 door Rangies, they are such an elegant design.

    A couple are original, but most & it has 4 spares are 198? something. One of the originals has a date stamp 116, which has me beat!

    The original & previous owner took the vehicle across the centre from Perth to Alice when he first got it back in 1977, hence the number of spares & roof rack full of jerry cans.
