Has nice Ratty `60/`61 only tail lights, well one lense was in really good condition so I swapped it for a shitty one(!)
I`ve got the correct "Popes Nose" number plate light to go on there, the later one has been fitted over the original Semi-W Deck-lid.

I think you've captured the "aged" look really well Gra. 😎
pyr0 ·
now thats a sweet lookin rat you've got there 🙂 ill bet you cant wait till she's on the deck 😉
57 Chook Shed ·
Yeah Dan, she sure has the "aged" look, it`s something that only 44 years in a hot climate can create!
I`ll get round to picking up that "aged" badge off you soon Dan, life`s just a bit hectic at the moment.
pyr0, I`d really love to spend abit of time and re-work the beam to the max! i.e narrow and lower the fuck out of it!!
Cheers

Its not often you see the original radio blanking plate in an early bug! Poor thing has had to suffer 44 years of Australian Idol wannabe's singing along in it. :blush

when you do the beam, let me know.
I've got one sitting here for my '54 and some new adjusters to go in it.
maybe we could do them both at the same time.

Better get my priorities right first though. Just hooked up a battery,12V Coil and gave her a fresh drink................
She`s running on 2 cylinders and the sychro has gone on 2nd Gear!!!!!!!!!!
Bugger!
That`s what you get when you shell out a whopping $200 I suppose!
Got that 1600 Type 3 motor and a couple of type 3 IRS back ends here so might brew up some kind of evil beast with that lot.
Wouldn`t mind just throwing in a good early swing axle gearbox though and just clearance it for the 1600, great for getting up these hills!

frenzix ·
crazy man, good price too. How farcan you go without doing away with the shocks?
57 Chook Shed ·
You can go 6" with shocks but that means major, major surgery of rhe fuel tank/ fuel tank surround and inner guards.
A link pin beam can be narrowed 2" without modifying the body (cut the inner part off the shock tower and weld a flat plate back on). 4" needs the inner guards and tank to be modified (basically you have to "French in" the shock towers.
I have also had to modify the inner guards/boot floor and headlight bowls to clear the tyres.
Cheers
