    Some Photos of Matilda

    Hello Folks,

    Today has been the first day I have had free to have a good look over Matilda - here are some photos I took just prior to a visit from the top brass (Colonel Coleman)....

    Here she is sitting next to my Series 9 ....



    Tailgate down and I'm onboard - first thing I did was fit the spare wheel brackets and have a beverage sitting in the back...







    She's a 3 seater - I'll leave her as a ute in the back....



    An "arty" rear taillight shot, glorifying the Della Beacon....



    Engine bay...





    Need a new exhaust manifold gasket - need a new exhaust....



    Now, I was told this is an original radiator, but am willing to be corrected



    The dash - all the instruments work....





    The inside of the Tilt...



    Another pic of the seats....



    Side on - she's only 86 inches hub to hub...





    And last but not least, her smiling face ....

    Thanks Paul - yes, I'm being prepared! You might also notice however, that they are dry.

    Looks very tidy, the 2" hole in the firewall below the pannel for the gauges is a modifaction when you need to get to the camshaft with out having to either remove the engine or firewall. My 88" has the same mod though is hidden behind the chassis/ID plate thats screwed there. Quite handy.

    Very nice. Doesn't seem to have a choke (mixture control)? Should be under dash, alongside the hand throttle.

    Have you check??? Sounds to me like it empty of all fluids

    Looking good Dan
