History
Originally purchased from Skinners Mazda in QLD by Moloolaba Yacht Club to move boats around the yard. The car has been owned by 2 previous owners until I purchased it in 2003 through a chance phone call from a fellow car club member. Went and saw the car in a storage unit and knew it was mine.
The next few months i got it running and re did the brakes, radiator and a few other things and then drove it from Brisbane to Canberra and back. Fixed some of the paintwork in Canberra while I was on holidays.
Well after having the cars electrics fail on me a few times i decided to park it up which was probably the wrong thing to do as it sat for 10+ years, moved houses etc.
I bit the bullet earlier this year as the car needed a 50th birthday makeover. I sent it to Rotor Reaction at Kallangur and Alvin managed to get it going again which included:
- Fuel Tank removal and clean
- Radiator replacement (went for an original copper core one)
- 13B Engine rebuild (including new housings and end plates)
there was heavy corrosion within the engine due to sitting stationary for so long.
- electrical issues sorted.
theres a few small things yet to be fixed along with panel and paint.
