G'day from Adelaide

Righty, quick update.

Car is registered and fully legal to drive and plated, so I can drive it on aussie roads...

currently car is in bits, as it badly failed the wheel allignment at the rear.

turns out my suspension at the rear is all bent.

now, im desparate to get back on the road.

i need a rear axle, torsion bars etc that are straight and get them sent over asap. would be looking to get any other bits that will get this done. its been 4 years in dry dock and its pissing me off !

all advice greatfully appreciated.

finding a mechanic/garage who wants to work on this car is bloody hard work!

cheers

shouldn’t need much cleaning - spent a bit of time onthat Saturday as i know the Australians like there clean bits of blue and goldmetal!

You might be better getting some black paint in ready to restore it before youfit it.
