Hi All,
Well contrary to what most people on here do (I.e. Restore and/or drive their cars) this one has gone nowhere. It has now been 'parked' for 10 years! Bloody hell where has the time gone? I'm a bit worried that unless I give it some TLC I maybe inviting trouble with the fuel system, engine and hydraulics?

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Regards
Stephen

10 years the damage would have allready started, unless you have been semi regularly turning the motor things would be happening BUT they are pretty resilliant old things and should still run and run reasonably well though i wouldn't go far without changing the timing gear unless at some stage it has already been changed from a fibre gear, i'de be very surprised if it still has brakes and a clutch and if it does i wouldn't trust them and same for fuel system
sometimes yor just better off shitting in yor hands and clapping

Just re-read this. Thanks Stephen. That is one of my all time favourite paint and trim combos. Those receipts are gold. You could not trust the odo reading on any car that passed through John Hungry Ellers' yard. The stories I've heard. Owners would wind back the clock then the dealer too. Wish I had one of my dads old Holdens. You're a lucky man.
Cheers
Clay

Been cleaning out the shed of 25 yrs of junk so I could demolish them before embarking on building a new shed.

You been holding out on us all these years ??? 🤩🤩
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.
