Hi Trev & Smooth, it is a shame but it will be restored & hopefully at Yamba!

Your right Mick, it had a few things going on back then & that is why I was getting onto it. then, well the rest is history.

It's looking tight for Yamba but it's totally stripped & the rust is being cut. I will take some progress pics if I can this week.

Hi Steve how are you sir? Hope your trip went well how is this car progessing? There has been a lack of Steve lately. Talk to ya soon.
P.S- Yamba at this point I will driving a FB. Not one of those super seeded EK models. Cheers

Hi Sunny M, I have been playing super catch with work. I am itching to get some reading time here.

I am not certain that this car will be ready for Yamba or the other Standard Honey Beige. I was working on the Cataract Standard Wagon & Snowcrest Standard Sedan today. They are coming along.

What is this FB you have found?

Hi Steve,

Good on you for taking the challenge of rebuilding this one. A fair bit of work in front of you but the effort will be worth it.

regards
Stewart

It doesn't look to bad at all now Steve, Maybe the guards, doors and boot lid where acting like sacrificial anodes.
Good to see you have the luxury of a SMALL WORKSHOP

to treat the old girl to some body works.

Regards John

Thanks John & Stewart. I was hoping to get it on the road for Yamba ... oh well, next year will be fine after the wait.

Here are some early pics I just dug out ....
