Blackys old tin mini adventure

Post by Blacky »

I was driving home the other day and went past a farm with some old wrecks so I stopped in and introduced myself and took some photos - no FB/EKs unfortunately.....
All of these were rusted beyond redemption unfortunately ..................

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.

I am hoping someone will buy the whole car and restore it - there has been quite a bit of interest in it on other forums over here in WA
