Farmer said it all, Another great trip for Chloe & I with our new family. It just gets better & better as we get to know more people through the adventures.
A few hiccups on the return leg of the Sunday cruise & we were tripping over people helping us, Chloe was so overwhelmed she feinted from all ...

Looks like the episode of Classic Restos is out from the 50th Anniversary gathering in Sydney.

Firstly, I'm very impressed with the new model 1 post hoist made in Estonia these days. Nice work.
I have taken some photos that may help. I have been told the muffler might not be original as mine
is round & the book shows it as being squared on the edges. Hope these Help

I found the Prime coverage of the Bellett Nationals & put it on the link below.

2017 Nationals Honour Roll
BEST OVERALL: Graham Hadley (Bellett sedan, recently restored)



I don't know if I should take "recently restored" as an insult or a compliment
It is as original as they come.

Chloe & I had a great time meeting everyone over the weekend.
I was worried Chloe would be ...

Nice post Sticky. Some great photos there.
Chloe is already talking about next years trip.

So thankful to everyone that made us feel welcome.

Great score Matt, You need a new project to keep you busy,
How is Dobby progressing ? not long now

Can't wait to see the finished product Matt.

Looking good & making great progress. It will look like a million dollars when you're done.
I still haven't put the polish on the bellett yet but I'll have it all prettied up for Mudgee
Not long now

Great Progress Matt

You'll have him ready for the Nats with weeks to spare at this pace.
What colour are you going with ?????

The shed is walking room only, there is a mid 80s Mercedes 380 also but that isn't a classic yet.
The bellett now has a whopping 8878 miles on it. I have just got it drivable after 30 years & put 2 miles on it in my back paddock getting it ready for Mudgee.
It was great to drive it for the first ...

These older cars are harder to find but I still love seeing peoples classics driving around.

As well as the 65 Bellett, I also have a 1966 Pontiac Parisienne, First photo in Kojac or Cop Shop trim (I could put the spats on too) & second as it is driven most of the time.
It was a barn find that is ...

Thanks Farmer for the warm welcome, nice lunch, educational chat & of course the parts that I needed to get the old girl back on the road.
We are back from our icy few days on the road with a couple of nights in Canberra after we left you. I thought Rye Park was cold but the
ice on the car each ...

Hey Farmer

Have sent a PM & email just incase one doesn't go through

Graham

Thanks Farmer, That's Awesome. I'll send you a PM
I live a few hours away but I'm more than happy to make the trip

Graham

Thanks Warren

Fuel pump diaphram split so needs replacing or electric pump if I have to.
Have already sent PM to Farmer so fingers crossed

Graham

I am finally able to get the Bellett back on the road & hope to see you guys at Mudgee this year
After refurbing the brakes, I am still missing a few bits to get the old girl back on the road.

I have posted in the parts section so hopefully i can find the bits I need & put her on club rego.

Graham

Hey Guys

I'm after a few parts to put my 1965 PR20 back on the road.
I need a fuel pump diaphragm or complete pump or rebuild kit, what ever is available.
I also need a master cylinder reservior cap as mine is really perished.
Lastly a set of rims so I can keep the original tyres on mine for the ...

I really appreciate the response so I thought I would throw up a couple more shots
It is a brilliant little car & I agree it is a toss up between driving it & preserving it.

It should be pretty easy to get back on the road as it is basically all new.
Not sure how easy club rego is to organise but I ...

Thought you guys might appreciate the pics
I think it is a pretty special car myself
Hard to believe it will be 50 years old in a couple of years

Sorry to hear I missed you at Merimbula last year
I would love to check out your Belletts on a future run
Even better if I am driving this one at the ...

Just had to share some pictures of my father in laws 1965 Isuzu Bellett
It has to be one of the best examples anywhere with only 8000 genuine miles & plastic still on all door trims.
It is immaculate from the body, interior, engine & still has its original tyres - I wouldn't trust them too much at ...
