I reckon you should incorporate the tail fins of the Wolesley? behind it on the pile somehow.
that would be kewl😂

Great idea Dan! Maybe incorporated into the roof just above the engine lid, kind of like a pro street rear wing. It would solve the problem of where to mount the tail lights!

The place is in SA about 90k`s from Adelaide, probably 50-100 acres of cars from Model T`s to late 70`s stuff. Most VW stuff gone now, theres quite a few people know about the place, it`s awesome to just walk around there!

Oh yeah, I was going to hang the window outside but I really do want to use it so don`t need any extra rust issues. That moss would have taken a few years to grow hey?!!

Bugger that Dan - save the Wolesley! Bring it home and cover it. Someone there would like it. OG paint, lowered, thin whites on black rims - cool.

Ahh dont worry about it, there`s plenty of Fins to go around!
