    Another 80" Surfaces!

    Hi all!
    I've acquired an 80" from Bathurst- a running , driving gem
    Came with a spare 1.6 motor, unfortunately fitted s2 mudguards, and an original PTO Set up!
    Has a rust free Firewall bar some small surface areas, and the chassis is sound as a pound!
    He shall be called 'Leonard' the Landy (after my Grandad who passed away recently) and I intend on restoring him and getting my 6 year old lad involved from an early age, with a view to eventually passing him on as and when he gets old enough, and if fuel hasn't run out by the year 2024
    10 years should see us with enough time- I mean, he runs, so we're already halfway there!
    Cheers,
    Alex

    Yep, she's a good thing and will most definitely get restored. I have a good lead on a set of front wings- only trouble is they come with a ball of rust that used to be an 80" attached!
    It has some small issues to contend with- need to get shut of the Nasty Bullbar too, as a whack to it linked the front LH Dumb Iron- but that's an easy fix.

    As the above picture shows, I also like the way it defies gravity and the laws of Physics.
