Far from registered, need to fix the brake lines as well as the fuel line straighten the body and do a few quick repairs underneath a coat of paint and interior, should have it over at my mates shop by this arvo though, few of the boys are coming over to help limp her over there. (stay off the road between 6 and 8pm i'd say) haha. Hoping to have her registered and on the road at the very latest mid September.

So she didn't end up moving from my Garage to the mates shop, needs a few small things first. Water pump, fuel filter, new brake lines, new fuel line, clean the fuel tank out (looked more like coffee) and then we might try again. i looked on here to replace the carby, but no one has one for sale, does anyone know of anyone? I know there are some on ebay, so i may just go that way. Thats all the updates for now. Does anyone have pictures of an fb or ek painted in Indian Red?

Cheers Footy

You could just rebuild the carb, if it's complete all you need to do is buy a rebuild kit.

Repco would be a start or maybe a Carby shop.

Here are a few quick pics, been really buy between an old job and a new one aswell as working most weekends, so not a lot has happened but it's on the way. She got moved out of my garage and on to my mates shed just up the road, so far we have straightened the roof, and a few little dings here and there. The front left guard got done last night and hoping to have the entire side in etch by the end of this weekend, turn her around and start the other side. Before you ask too....it's my mates 1950 Chevy Business Coupe in the background. haha
