    So I now also have a 2a....

    I thought it was a 3 but I've come to learn its a 2a. lol.



















    sooooo......

    just got this..



    All I know so far is the history of the vehicle it has had with the last owner. Was last running 10 years ago apparently.

    its fairly straight. good body. Original motor I was told. It's got a 'six' badge on the grille so I take it its the 2.6L 6 cyl. has a tropical roof and has hoops for the tub.

    That casuarina foliage really adds to the effect of the LR wiring.

    That doesn't look bad at all. You don't see too many of the ashtrays anymore and the tropical roof for the ute cabs are relatively rare. Doesn't seem to be much or any of the usual rust streaks from the bulkhead or door frames.
    Have fun with it.

    Update time...






    younger brother james being busy again lol

    so it is indeed a 6 cylinder. its pretty much all original and all complete. At this point the motor is seized tohugh. I could not turn the crank handle nor the fan... we tried to remove a spark plug and it split it in half. (lol)but all the bits are there... Rick has told me he has a 6 cyl head which i can use to rebuild this. hopefully its not TOO much work.

    Apart from that its in great nick. NO RUST!!!

    has ashtray, tropical roof, has the locks for the rear windows, original tyre holder and has a heater as well. Body needs some aligning really. I figure if it was running all I would really change is fix the cracked tail light, get a straight tail gate, get door hinges and away it would go. Wouldn't change a thing I think. Will prbably just get a canvas cover for the hoops.

    more pics







    CalVIN only says its a 69-71 production. no exact date


    but yes. its in good condition. It'll be some time before I get to it though. S1 first as thats closer to getting on the road!

    I may be after some bits for this though. Any suggestions as to where i should look?

    G'day LoveB,
    Nice find!

    Is there any chance of posting a photo close-up of the edge of the troppy roof please?

    I am planning to make a tropical roof for my S3 out of an old full-roof, but I need to know what shape it is,

    Cheers Charlie
