Had to do some pruneing to get the Ford out

It had sunk a bit over the years. It fired up but just smoked the tyres. Had to get the 2 Door out to shift it.

Even it almost dug its self in:eek:

Hate to say it but even though the S1 fired up it had sunk as well. I wasn't going to risk driving it out so pulled it free 1st. Then drove it out:D.
Few more pics :)

We are having some discussion here now on this things future. Obviously it is not viable to to a full restoration:(. So do we keep it as is. Just tidy it up paint, mech etc. OR :eek: Put Range Rover under pinings in it and keep the body as S1 :o You know I like the Rangies:angel: I think it would be a crime though.:wasntme: For now we will get it sorted as is. Tony
G'day All, Don't worry about it anymore Tony I will come over and pick it up this arvo and give it a full make over (and keep it of course LOL):p cheers mate Dennis:wasntme:

You are only two and a half hours from here:eek: I better hide it again:D The country looks well here for how cold it is now. We seem to be picking up odd falls of rain. TonyQuote:

After seeing the piles of rusting scrap some people have restored into gleaming showroom condition vehicles this weekend at the Eastern Creek Classic I wouldn't be too swift to come to that conclusion... ;)Quote:

I also have a 50 model here (One owner) in a lot better shape and all original but they not as rare so not keen on it compared to the 49 for full restoration. TonyQuote:
