Yea maybe, i can tell the crome side trim holes have been covered so id say so.

Can anyone tell me i was having a bit of trouble this morning it was low on oil yesterday and stalled on my way home, started up fine. Got home Filled the oil up was just under the line and now it starts and idles ok. Drives ok on light throttle but if i put my foot down full throttle it coughs and spluters. Was not happening before it stalled... any idea's? havnt really had a chance to sus it out today so just rode my motorbike.

Looks like a nice clean straight car you got there.

Couple of issues though:

1. Those dodgy centre caps on the mags
2. What is the plate bolted to the outside of the b-pillar. Tell me it's not some dodgy seat belt mounting

The car looks to be 4 stud?? Stock wheels are 5 x 205 mm stud pattern (for pre 67 cars). Id be looking at the beam in the car see if its ball joint or King and link pin.

Hmmm, not much original going on there unfortunately. You've definitely got quite a bitsa there?

Either way you've got yourself something you can enjoy & cruise in! 👍
