Picked up change over tinware at goldy show today. From early bays with type 1's but have the type 4 cooling seal in the engine bay. Got all the tinware I needed for $40 and picked up a late kombi steering wheel for a real good price as well!! First time I've had a Horn that works for nearly 15 years!! Just have to keep reminding myself not to tap on it to the music!! Lol

Reub
Was for sale on Samba Reuben. 3 odd months of negotiating before it wash finally a done deal.
Graham Warwick may be a possibility but between now and then I have to finish some minor renos to sell my house and find somewhere else to live then obviously move. Troys car would be closer to being at Warwick than mine and that will keep me busy at the track!!.
On a side note tracked down a vac advance type 4 dizzy this arvo in good condition!! Thanks tar!!
