    Matillda 67 2a 88

    Hey all
    Well I think it is about time that I start a thread about my new toy.
    I got her a few months ago and have been slowly disasembeling and inspecting.
    Over all its in resonabl conditionwith only minimal rust in the chassis and firewall.
    Any way here are some pics





    Will post more pics of the progress to date.
    Cheers
    Joel

    Looking good there Joel!
    I like the dirty great toolbox, I've been thinking one would make a handy addition to my SWB.
    One question, how do you put fuel in her?
    Looking forward to seeing the rebuild and action photos to come
    Cheers,
    Mark

    Nice Shorty Joel,

    Looks like a six cylinder grill.....

    I personally like the 2.25 petrol anyway .. tough as nails.

    Cheers

    Ben

    Hey gang
    Thanks to all for the comments, and as for the tow vehicle well it may not be a Landy but at least its not a Nissan.

    Any way here's some more pics




    Here's what I found after removing the bumper, not to bad.


    Drivers footwell.


    Not much paint left on the chassis, dam leaking breaks


    MMMM how do i fix that?


    Looks like I need some steel!


    Origional 2.25 with stromberg carby. Still runs but VERY smokey.

    More pics to come.
    Cheers
    Joel

    So this is where im up to now. I have killed the worst of the rust and about to start on the rear of the chassis.
