Thanks Clay. Yes more room to spread out a bit and maybe get one of the modern cars back under cover.

Goodbye Wilma. Fair bit of spent effort leaving today. Hope Paul, the new owner enjoys his new toy.

If its being sold interstate I hope you are keeping those plates for the next one ??? Bloody hard to get hold of now aren't they ????

Project 2 will be under CVS rego with NSW club I'm hoping. So no, Blacky, plates are gone. Easy enough to get them though.

Nah, just do a search on My Plates and order the numbers and letters you want and the style. $120 a year to keep them I think.- maybe one-off not sure.

I have purchased “Wilma” and am SO looking forward to picking it up in a week or so.
Had an EH which I’ve just sold, plus a mint LJ XU-1 Torana replica which my wife normally drives.

Good on you Ed. Hope you and your wife get many years of driving pleasure from her. A good rig if I say so myself!
Welcome to the forum too.

Lucky boy Ed. I reckon you can be confident of reliable motoring. Brett did a thorough rebuild. Look forward to see what you are doing with her, even if it is just driving.
Cheers,
Clay
