#1 debating making The Defect III roadworthy....
Mawler1 Posted on: 2012/4/28 12:24
debating rebuilding my 120Y farm hack into a roadgoing concern....

however the big issue is as a stripped out shell Dad picked it up with the front end loader and sso it has not too bad creases in front of and behind the B pillar.... what I want to know is do they have to be massaged out/removed to get it roadworthy, or is is it somethimg I can get away with?

i would say definitely need to cover that up. honestly though if the car is that bad structurally i would be looking for another shell....

told ddad to not pick it up with the loader but did he listen.... nooooooo... Grrr

I may be a Datsun Deviant, but if I had all those cars to play with, I'd do up that Chevy!!
What year is it, 50 or 51? Are all the parts there for it?

I'd tend to agree with you there, but the other 120Y in the background.... is now just a stripped out shell and my other (black) 120Y is so rusted out it's not even worth touching.....

only thining about getting it roadworthy if the roof damage is repairable...

Chev's sold, waay too much work for me, and too expensive, got $800 bucks for it and the same year (1951) chev ute I had...

Damn! A mate of mine would have probably swapped them both for a VERY tidy and lic'd 120!

The real trick is making sure the doors line back up, I suspect you'll have some fun with it.
