How is your engine going? I have 3 spares and one might be a good year for your vehicle. What range of engine numbers are you looking for? I am doing a restoration of a 1961 series 2 SWB in the Hunter Valley (but progressing not as quickly as you).

Thanks have found a 1959 engine 151991987 that is as close as I can find to 1960 unless you have a 1510xxxx block the engine is period correct with gooseneck manifold ,large oil filter housing ,and bellows thermostat etc etc
yours looks good a lot better start than mine and will follow with interest

Had a look this weekend but my other engines are all much newer - 2518 , 2519 , and 2527. Sorry I couldn't help.

Cheers

Like the chassis work you are doing, watching this with interes as my 109, the chassis is in poor shape... usual spots and more! Can you tell me where you get the replacement pieces from, such as the outriggers and the front end,... also rear cross member etc.
