Hi Pauld and welcome to the forum. Looks like a real nice ride. Got a 74 myself so to see another is good.I`m sure those that hail from the NT will come by. I`m a couple of paddocks over in downtown beautiful Sydney.Once you`ve trialed your new ride over the next week or two perhaps you can put up some other pics - interior,motor etc. cheers

yep will do, spent every day this week trying to sort the spark plug in number 3 cylinder, had previously been helicoiled but it came out with the old plug. picked up a set of kadron extractors for 90 bucks yesterday as well as a few lights and bits of chrome and things yesterday have another 1.6 that i think will be used to donate a head to fix the spark plug problem properly. will get some more pics when i have some spare time while the suns still out

Hi mate, I'm a fellow NT dubber.
There are a couple of us on here, not very many though.

We are going to try gather a few of the local dubbers for a drive, would you be interested?
