The Datsun 1000 I built in early1970s for Rob Souter The first true race I built.
The 120y coupe I built for my son in 2007 and have just resently refreshed it with a new motor and gearbox and as it will probably be my LAST car I build(getting to old for it )I thought I would paint it in the ERAND TRANSPORT colours from the 70s
IT gets its first run of the year at the end of Feb.

I am sorry DD I don't know what a tudor is???
That pic is at sandown at the end of the main straightwith 10" wheels and Robs 4door moorfed into a 2door to strengthen up the body to take the power of the motor mounted under the windscreen and the 4 link rear end and rosejointed front end.
Pretty nifty back in the 70s.The car was many colours,Undercoatgrey,,Black&silver,,Blue&white,,and last two blues and pink were the Erand Transport colours who sponsored the car in Melbourne.
So I thought I would replicate the colour scheme for the last car I am building.

Our friend was a panel beater and he took it back to metal each time for cost of materials as we let him use our small factory to do cash jobs back in the 70s

Very cool to bring the race colours back nearly 50 years on.
