Reply With QuoteChops, I know of a good source of FREE Spares for it not too far from you. We just need to work out a way to distract the owner

Just thought I'd leave this here. She's our newest acquisition for the family. Found her up NE Vic, she starts runs, only been off the road for a couple of years.

Looks good Chops. There's a couple of those (and some older ones) around Kalgoorlie at the moment. Wouldn't mind getting my hands on one as a project - but now that I'm back at work, I probably have the money to buy one but not the time to work on it.
Cheers .........

A widelight shorty, very noice. The pick of all the 88s IMHO.

Looks rather nice - got any door tops? And the front bumper looks a little strange.

SubscriberIt has door tops although they are a little worse for wear. Chops isn't telling you the whole story - I went on a road trip last weekend with him when it was first viewed - it's a cracking little vehicle that is in great condition. It not only starts and runs, but runs well, drives well, stops well - near new tyres, had a RWC only a few years ago an drew hasn't done much work since. Should be easy to get back on the road and probably is able to be driven to its first test with a permit and nothing else.
Inside is in great condition - hardly any wear to the dash, no holes drilled in it, completely unmolested. Exterior paint is faded back to bare aluminium in places - it looks great, and hopefully will be left in its current condition.
Front bumper has some extensions welded to it - I'm not sure if this was because it may have had a winch or something up front at some stage - it will be easy to put back to where it is supposed to live if that's decided on by the owner.
Best original shorty I've seen in a long time.
If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

Mmmm you two
Looks even better in real life
Well done mate.

Thanks guys,
I think she's a little beauty, but of course the beauty is only in the eye of the beholder.
From what I can tell, she's pretty much completely original, and as Gav say's, it wont be touched. Suffice to say, she will be cleaned within an inch of her life around all the mechanical, any leaks sorted as best as they can be, and make sure all the wiring is in good nick and working well. She does need a bit of a tune, tappets sorted etc, par for course on an old girl.
Looking forward to getting her back on the road, we'll do a bit of light work in the bush, take her to historical type events,,, just so people can see her, and hopefully admire her,, and of course, the big one will be getting to drive her up to Cooma next year
