Nice project vehicle.

What are your plans for it?

[HBWC]

clean her up fix whats needs fixing but by the kiss (keap it simple stuped) aproch
Ill see how the little petrol goes but latter on i might contemplate a desel(but i've been told they don't like bio)
i just want a nice simple car i can go on a nice weekend trundle or go fishin ect
it wont do any heavy off road or touring work (i have a well set up tojo for that) but it will get used what it was built for and ill love every minute of it.


ps im going to drive this with out the use of my legs

Will you be fitting an auto? My Mrs is unable to drive a manual due to having a stroke when she was younger but Know she would love to get out in my S3 she already been out mud plugging in our jeep by her self. Would realy love to fit an automatic for her but not sure the best way to go about it.

[HBWC]

na leaving her manual you can get a conversion kit which brings the clutch on to the gear leaver or you can get a full hand control kit for a manual now but im going to build my own! (more series style no electronics)
i also need a name for the old girl ?
got any ideas?

is that pale blue with a white foor ???

it could actally be an ex navy vehicle!

[HBWC]

it is but theirs olive green underneath so i dought it

[Phoenix]

olive green eh, I wonder if the navy bought some from the army? Might I ask what the chassis number is, that may help answer some questions (or it may not, but worth a try )

[HBWC]

ill get the no's for you on saterday when i pick her up got a heap of parts droped of today (my favroite at the moment is it came with all the stuff to get the brakes working)
