New Aussie +2
Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2008 10:13 am
Hi Guys,
Posted late last year that I was looking ... and looking I have been.
Saturday I finalised a deal that will see me into this +2
Late 67/ Early 68
Restoration just being completed - rebuilt everything
Rejigged and re-inforced chassis
Engine rebuilt by known engine builder - approx 160KMS on it
Full reco weber head with offset dowels
Isuzu 5 speed (original 4 speed supplied as spare)
Koni suspension
Nolothane bushes
New leather interior
Newly veneered dash - looks great
Electric pop up headlights
.. and lots of other stuff I can't remember.
Should be running this week sometime and I will take delivery in a couple of weeks after all the ancillaries are sorted.
The wheel in the foreground is from the set that comes with the car - 14" Simmons ... apparently quite rare.
The only things left to do on the vehicle will be the finishing and tidy up. Paint will need a buff, chrome polishing. some trim will need finishing (boot floor and back parcel tray), wiring will need a tidy etc. I know once I get it home I will have lots of questions, so thanks in advance.
And thanks also for the mountain of information contained in this forum that made the investigations that much easier.
Andrew
