Chickity Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 There's a definite chance it's toast. Very rusty toast. But only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Now i want toast! So when you crazy kids picking it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickity Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Trailer is currently piled high with big slabs of Kauri, and more to pick up next Sat, so there's a slim chance of Sunday, but most likely Sat week. Or one night during the week depending on weather/light etc. Don't really want to be trying to tow it out of a paddock in the dark/rain though. Rain on it's own would be ok.

Saylight Davings begins on the 25th of September, which will raise the chances of light, but leave the chance of rain untouched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 There is nothing more awesome than getting home and finding that you have roosted mud alllllll over the car you are towing I hope it rains, and you take your camera EDIT: Reading that back, "nothing more awesome" is a pretty big call... but it is still pretty awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgweiser Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 This popped up in the trademe hilarity thread a few days ago lolLooks pretty ambitious but will be mean when you get it roadworthy! Good luck! That was me was having a laugh about his "enthusiasts dream" comment, more like nightmare I thought. Cool project tho, glad it's been saved, I don't think it looks too bad, the bonnets all go rusty as they are a triple layer of rolled shit that rusted from new- so 90% are bogged and judging by the lack of bog falling out in the photos, should be alright bodily. Hit it with the waterblaster and it should be like a new car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EURON8 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 haha Fred, we might need one a bit further down the track when i convince tara that the 6 ITBs i have floating around need a home. Actually looking forward to pulling it down and having a look. Better get van sorted first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0R10N Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Drove past a Humber Street in Palmy this weekend and thought of you The photos make it look far, far sweeter than it probably is IRL. But no worse than some of the old British things my panelbeater currently has out the back of his shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 That is a hilarious series of photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crooked Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Agree with the bonnets, mine has zero rust anywhere else but the bonnet pretty much falls apart at the lightest touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I think I have a full set of escort 12x5 rims with tyres on, they havent been used in a couple of years but you can try them/they held air last time they were used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
