thought people may want to see pics of 1 of my old ovals, this was sitting for over 10 yrs when i got it, the engine was seized, it had 60,s panels on it but it was still in ok cond.I filled the engine with deisel and let it soak for a few weeks, then drained it and freed it up with a spanner.I put the correct panels back on it, touched it up with faded acrylic paint, slammed it, shoved a type 3 long axle box and brakes on, a few accessories and it fired up and drove like a beauty for ages, i really miss this car.
