Cheers for all the comments guys.
Can't wait to get it on the road. Just needs a radiator fan/shroud, fuel tank/pump, tailshaft and exhaust and she's ready to fire up.

The interior trim is getting done at the moment, all in original vinyl, and the dash is getting redone at Dashboard Doctor in Melbourne. I've seen some of his work and I'm pretty impressed. Once that's done, the gauges can go in and basically it can be reassembled back to a car :)

I've spent WAY more than I budgeted for, but I spose that's what happens when you get started ;) About 15grand over budget so far. Haha. But all is Good.
I'll post more pics when more things happen. Let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy :)

Cheers guys.
The wheels are 15x6. I'm wondering how much trouble I'm going to have with traction. But I guess I'll have to just wait and see.

Traction issues? In a word? MAJOR!!
While you're at it, tub the arse out of it, move the springs, pump the guards and whack a set of 9's under it. What's another few grand over budget???
It'll be the mother of all wagons then!
Think Mick Silk type launches!!

depends on date of manufacture. Some where in the 60s so for you probably yes. Make sure all the safety equipment (seat belts etc.) are in good nick otherwise they'll make you fit ADA approved ones which will look shiite.
