Here are a few pics from last Saturday when Oz and I picked up the Farm Fresh WASP65
even to the pile of rat poo under the bonnet.
On the plus side it ran like a clock!
On the not so plus the wiring will need some work and one HELL OF A CLEAN!

Sure is, have got some VR Berlina alloy wheels to go on it too :)
300kg so weight worked out well!
Ebay Electric winch worked a treat :twisted:
Thanks Davo, Looking forward to sorting out the bugs and getting it on historic Reg :geek:

Very nice indeed. Looks like she just needs a cut and polish.

6 Stud wheels Pa Man, I don't think the Holden wheels will fit unless you have them re drilled, or are you talking about going on the trailer. ;)
A great example of a Wasp, very well done!! :)
I am sure it will look a "million dollars" very soon!! :o

Nice one Josh! Poor Keith...Bellett-less after 46 years, but nice to see at least 3 of the Freegard's cars get a good home on this forum. Looking forward to seeing you on the road :)

My bad, was talking about the trailer with the Holden wheels :oops:
Cut and polish is next on the list after the electrics and putting back the original Bumper back on.
The amazing part is the tray has no rust holes, a front section was plated before Keith bought it,
and they used it a lot in establishing their property in the hills, including quite a few loads of horse manure ;)
So am thrilled that after all that there are no holes :D

Josh,
You have done very well, another saved!!
Plenty of photos of your progress please!!! :D
I know of another near Sydney, however in sad condition if anyone is interested PM me. It has a tray body not a tub style body. Rust in the turrett might be the biggest problem. :x
Are you going to Merimbula??
Dave.

Josh mate that is a beautiful ute... I am genuinely jealous.
Almost as jealous as I am of the Coona' rat ute but still jealous to boot

Fantastic pick-up mate, And I like it just the way it is, except maybe for the racks. Pretty agricultural. Though if you left them on I reckon you'd have to bolt a few l o n g boards on there, and tie the red rag on the end. "Working clothes".
And the rat poo, you can loose that too!

Cheers & good onya, Matt.

Here are a few photos of a CLEAN Wasp 65 :D
Washed and polished...photos hide a lot of issues But not too bad! (at a distance) ;)
Mini seats being re-upholstered, VDO gauges in temporary placement while dash gauges being sorted, BUT tidy! :P
Trailer LED tail lights as have only one original one so far, still need a lens for the second one! :)
Engine Bay, new Bellett radiator, generator re-build and some re-wiring, still work to do! :shock:
New (second hand) tyres all round, trim rings and Bellett hub caps (Wheels were modified to suit) :lol:

Lot of things still to sort but happy to drive it now :lol:
Josh
