Hey guys, my name's Zak and I'm 18, nearly 19, and am from Adelaide. A little while back, I bought this (what I found to be a type 3) from a guy who was moving interstate and needed her gone. She wasn't (and still isn't) running, but I paid $700 with the intention of Dad and I working on her as a project and now with tax time rolling in, the time has come to start work. We're thinking about replacing the engine as their are a couple around and keeping the current, replacing and rebuilding everything, and the using it as a spare in case worst comes to worst and I ever need one. Also on the plans are to replace the headliner, electrics (yay for having an electrician for a Dad) and getting a desperately needed respray in white - I have a feeling the current paint is rattlecan/fencepaint green.

So hopefully, all should be underway soon with photos and questions coming at you, hope you don't mind helping out haha
