    Do you need an 'omnibus' licence to drive it ?
    Joking aside it looks like a great project, I turned one of these down some time back and another forum member now has it. Maybe I'll get the next one that comes up for sale..... ideally with an Isuzu motor !

    Set out to start pulling the 109 apart to find how much rust and surprises lay beneath. Plan on taking it completely down to the chassis and building back from there.

    Looks like a nice project. Let me know if you need any motor bits. I have a V8 from an '85 County that looks like ending up in the scrap bin if no one wants it. I am not far from you at Hay Point.

    I bought it from the auctions in Rocky and the two 88s were bought by the same person. One went for $6000 and the other went for $600.

    Too hot in Rocky to do any work out in the sun so had a fiddle with the engine suprisingly cleaner under the covers than I thought it would be.
    See what the weather is like tomorrow.

    Did a bit more stripping down today found a bit more rust, but everything is either repairable or replaceable 1981 stage one omnibus. Back seat is in really good condition, front passenger seats also. Driver's seat needs new base cushion and straightening of the back support. Rear passenger side door is heavily rusted from the top hinge attachment point through to the window, both front door tops a beyond economical repair but drivers side rear door is fairly good. Will post some more photos later.
