Maybe that engine stand is for a Valiant Slant 6? 😄

Hi Drew,
Found this on Gumtree. Thought it might be of interest?
Not sure if the tailgate badge is the same?

Gday Shane, I actually have a tailgate badge that Rob Ardisse sent me.
It’s a beauty, it’s broken in 2 pieces so it will match the patina of the wagon perfectly after I have joined it together.

no , the fact that the motor sits at an angle

Gotcha, I just clamped the rotational assembly square and drilled a new hole for the pin.
All square now

How good is this old timber!
I am thinking I’m going to save it as it fits perfectly with the condition of the rest of the vehicle.
I love it!
