The dealer sticker stays!
This car has moved around a hell of alot in it's time and I really like the cars history. From memory it has spent time in N.S.W, QLD and now S.A. If that sticker dies I'll be getting it remade.
So the actual car I'm using for the life on mars gasser is the one earlier in this thread I picked up from the wreckers. I had no where for it under cover and I'd put too much work into the vinyl roof to let it rot so I took it down to a mates place, which just happens to be on the same street, 750metres down the road
. There it sat patiently waiting it's turn. Last month I went down there with him and grabbed it back home so work could commence.
As it sat in my mates shed after 18+ months
No real suprises except for a bloody mouse nest under the back seat!
That and I nearly crapped myself when a mouse (mummy mouse I assume) ran from the passenger footwell up and over the trans tunnel along past my arm and dissapeared into the back as my mate was towing me into my driveway lol.
After a quick scrub (I hate dirty cars)
So, work begins. We started with the boot floor as it was rotten
Boot floor is almost finished, and we have filled 3 rust holes in the engine bay / firewall behind the heater, which is common for these.
Really keen to get stuck into this one. I think it's going to be a fairly exciting car when done in it's life on mars and gasser theme. It'll certainly be unique that's for sure! I'm sure no one has made one of these into a gasser yet
. Went down a couple of weeks ago to the Kerenwek Lowender festival in the Kadina, Walleroo, Moonta area. Just over an hour from home and had a ball.
