Had her sitting in the shed.for.a couple of years now.
Thought it was time to start the engine rebuild.
The last pic is the last time I drove her at my wedding.
Two years ago. She hasn't been registered since 1976.

Very cool.
Can you please put up a pick of the ID tag and chassis and engine number for our research?
Thank you,
Steve

Sure thing.
I checked it all when I bought her. For memory, I think it wad originally assembled in Vic?
Pretty sure it was also numbers matching.
I'll post some more pics of her as I go along. I've also got my EH Ute.

I also think I was mistaken with its origin. Doesn't the 'A' mean adelaide?
