Certainly a nice start, Matt. I hope you have as much fun as we have in ours. We don't always get home unaided and in one piece but RACV Total Care is the way to go.
Last weekend I had a minor mishap. We have been having trouble for months. It is like there is either fuel starvation or major flooding. She goes well for about 25km. then seems to starve or flood. I have replaced the fuel pump, carby, distributor, coil, all high tension leads etc, etc but to no avail. Then this happened 100 metres up the road after dying on the side of the road and getting going again. I drove home the last few km's. after this and parked her in the shed so I still have to sort things out. Maybe it is a blocked exhaust pipe somewhere. Melb Cup 065c.jpg Regards Rick.

That's a neat project Matt ,
If there are no signs of military use it may have been owned by a doctor or a hire car business during the war. Does it have the 216 engine in situ ? Mike

Thanks folks.
I've started an inventory to check what is missing. It came with a few boxes of spares, plus a heap of spare glass, and it all looks pretty good. There is surprisingly little rust, and the tinworm in the doors and guards is to be expected. The headlining is excellent, the seats need a lot of work, and the engine is an unknown quantity. I have a spare engine coming, which was running last year when it was pulled out of a '46 truck. I haven't started looking at the electrics, but I have a few ideas and questions which may be a topic for another post down the track a little. Cheers, Matt
