you gunna run 2 heaters

looks like a good start, what was yor previous project, i used to own an EK it had plates EKK OOL quite a few years ago and the plates you have weren't available so sombody must have handed them in

[EK-COOL]

Two heaters came with the car. An Airide and a Smith's. The Smith's heater is incomplete, but the Air Ride is all there. Just need to repair the broken knob.
Was just throwing ideas around for number plates one afternoon, couldn't believe these plates were available. Snapped them up pretty quickly.

This was my last project. Sold it since!

Optioned up burbler

The plan is to build it as close to original as I can. Will be a shame to mess with this car anyother way. It still has all the original sheet metal. Only rust repairs done to here were the sub frame section and a couple of spots on the front doors.
Here is the vin numbers. Can any one post a photo of the original colour.?

Started stripping off the Matt Black. Panels are in really good shape.

Mounted the Bonnet emblem in the correct position.


Taxi Rail will be mounted next.

Finished restoring the guage cluster in between panel repairs and paint stripping. A new coat of paint and internal clean up looks the treat.
