A Sad Bellett

Hi everyone

This one was found in three pieces in a paddock in North West Tasmania. It had the square tail lights and cast iron head.
I hope I've got the sizes right this time!

Give it a cut and polish and it'd be sweet!
Maybe a little panel work and a tidy up of the trim and you've got a keeper!!!

You're right Matt, It was cheap and yielded many good mechanical and suspension spares.
It's a poor wreck that won't give up some treasure - motor, radiator, gearbox, diff, alternator, distributor, drive shafts, wiring loom, front end, grille, bonnett.....

I discovered it while watching Targa a few years ago, but was all together then.
By the time I got back to it last December it was as shown.

The chap who had it said that if I wanted anything off it I had to take the lot as he didn't want a heap of junk left lying around in his paddock!!!

So........Why'd they chop it up?
Muscle builder on steroids showing off? "Look, Me break car!"
Anyhow, cheap spares are good spares. Good work.
Cheers, Matt.
