Didn't think I'd be doing this yet but I need to move my 64 on. I don't have any current pics yet but I'll get some taken over the next couple of days.
Basically its a relatively solid 64 that hasn't had a major hit. Most of the rust issues are in the bolt ons like the decklid & bonnet, there's a little bit behind the front wheels but not too much. Paint is Ruby Red, it was re-done about 20 years ago so fades a fair bit but polishes up pretty well. I was planning on repainting it if I kept it.
Since I've had it:
Put an adjustable 2 inch narrowed front beam, goes really low. Tie rods narrowed to suit.
Lowered the rear end so there's a bit of camber but more importantly still has a nose down stance.
Had the front brake cylinders & all 4 flexible hoses replaced.
Put in a new fuel line as the old one had leaked in the tunnel.
Changed the motor for another 40Hp and changed the gearbox mounts while it was all out. Its still 6V, there's a bit of a charging issue, don't seem to be getting enough voltage out of it mainly when the lights are on.
Put in some rear pop out windows. I love these and would like to keep them for the next car but will keep them on this car if you want them and the price is right.
Put in seatbelts, there's 3 across the back and a baby seat mount on the firewall.
Looking for around $2,900 or less without the popouts. Its not rego'ed at the moment as I haven't needed to drive it for a while.
I'm about 10 mins from the Adelaide CBD, the number is 0410 420 577.
Cheers,
Greg
