    Rangieman`s Project

    Well i`ve been longing for a series shorty for a long time .
    One popped up in what is it worth and i jumped on it
    It is a 1972 s111 swb all standard running gear which is what i wanted no holden crap engine.
    The job will not be a full resto but more a tinker and repair the important things also i have been warned about other job`s around home that need my attention first .
    The engine runs well the brakes will need wheel cylinders also a clutch slave , The front chassis irons will need replacing (rusted) and all spring and chassis bush`s and so on
    The shortie drove onto and off the trailer under its own steam with stinky stale fuel
    Swmbo wants to name it not that i care for naming cars but we do these things to keep the peace i guess
    A couple crappy ph pics for those sticky beaks

    The last shorty I had was named "The Gay Nightclub" because after driving it for any distance you got out of it deaf and had a sore arse!

    Have fun.
    Cheers
