Found the car in a back yard garage
When she was found most of all the parts were just jammed inside and everything was covered in 20plus years of dust
The remaining balance of mostly Lancia parts from 2 plus cars was more than a trailer load so good thing we towed the trailer with a ute more luck then forsite
Okayfirst and foremost before I did anything she had to run and with a bit of effort I ha the engine running on a petrol can Great I moved on
I Reassembled the rest of car by myself over about 2 months using the best of the multitude of parts
the car is really good as far as rust it has a tiny bit but I have never seen one as good she is good enough now to drive in and out of the garage or onto a trailer
her brakes need doing and a front windscreen is the only bit missing

Hey, we could if we were a bit closer, lol
Iโm in Sydney,
The statesman is all original down to the paintwork never been in a smash.
My hubby is the mechanic he keeps her going as she is only parked up.
He had one of our local guys here to do the cold air intake and the Mafless tune on her.
She goes like clappers, I had to get him to take her back when we first had her done to calm her down a bit she was TOO toey for me to drive. Sideways in the dry but she still dose that, if you want to give her a hit and sheโs a big car.
Lol ๐๐๐
She only gets out once a year to get her pink slip done for rego. Quite sad isnโt it?
Nice chatting to ya, you take good care of yours and enjoy every minute.
Bec. ๐๐๐๐๐๐
