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

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.
