Check it out. Scored this in a swap for my notch. Thanks to a good friend, none other than mister wrecker67. He knew someone who knew somone etc etc that was having relationship probs or something and next thing i have swapped my car for it. It needs a buff and clean and a few things done before rego. And anyone out there wondering about Wrecker67 spray painting abilities, he did this car three years ago and it looks sweet.

Thanks craig.

Scott mate you can come over any day. Just call me before hand as I may not be home. It is down at my nans at the moment as I have no room at home or in the shed. Me and Craig moved it last night in all that rain. We were both drenched. Have to give the guy my notch yet.



Frenzix I wil race you for sure. I bet I come last though. We can have a slowest wins race. It has an 36 horse 1955 motor in it. Very cool.

I am hoping in the next couple of weeks. I need a car to drive so the pressure is on. Hope I don't run into any major problems.

nice one man...shame you had to sacrifice the notch tho. if only it were registered you could bring it sunday, then we'd have a type1,2 and 3

what are you gonna drive by the way?

I thought a 58 was an oval window, I coudn't see from the pic if it had semaphores which came out as late as 59 with a full size window.

Maybe I'm wrong
Anyone else?

Nice score though

no. 57 was last of the ovals. 58 was first of the bigger window, and i still maintained semaphores.
they seem hard to make out in the pic above.

Not real good with photoshop infact I know nothing about it at all except for what i did to this pic last night. So does anyone have some real cheap BRMS?
