Hello Tony, have removed the floor panels and gained access into the starter, removed and refurbished. I am forming the believe that this was the vehicles demise, one bolt had been removed and Mr ? Had botched up the "+" connection to the starter. My bet is that they had trouble with the starter, started the job found it to hard and gave up then parked her up for the rust to eat.
Hooked up the jumper cable and powered her up, side lights are still working, dash lights came to life. Hit the starter switch and the engine spun over without a concern.
Am battling with the fuel pump now, will need to remove it and give it a clean, my last stumbling block before pouring fuel down it's throat and seeing if it comes to life.
Another 2 or 3 months in gippsland and the vehicles would have been beyond any sort of restoration.
