It should have bulkhead vents. Maybe the bulkhead top rusted out and a new sheet of steel was placed to remove them? What is on the inside in the cabin?

Yeessss. You'd best be getting Mick to take a few more snaps Tom

Crump & Cornish Trailer

Then I'm not sure..

S1 - Hopefully a quick rolling restor
76 2 Door Rangie - long term
83 Stage One V8 Wagon - medium restoration

I will probably end up working on all projects at once, taking forever to finish any of them! Lol

I was thinking more of what you will be buying next?

Well the next Minto auction starts in about 2 hours... Seriously though - SWMBO would absolutely murder me.. Time to sell a kidney me thinks.

What's that old saying...."better to beg forgiveness than ask for permission"

I had a look at today’s Minto Auction... Only 2 - 6x6’s (1 in parts). About 14 FFR’s (4 in parts)... Not much pickings....

So, when's the road trip mate?🚙 I reacon that would just about fit on an 8x5 Tandem trailer... Length would be ok, might be just a smidge too wide, will have to check actual dimensions on one. I know a bloke that can get their hands on one, along with a vehicle to tow it that doesn't cost much to fuel up.... 😉👍

Unfortunately I am hospital next week, so I am not sure when I can pick it up... Maybe in a month.. “No heavy lifting for 6 weeks”.
