nice to see her getting some love, would be cool to see progress pictures as you go. Whats the plans as far as colour goes? Gotta say she is a heck of a lot straighter than my ratter bellett!

Nice score and a very good starting point for a doer upper

Thanks guys
No ideas on colour yet mrfibbles but most likely a solid non metallic. Will be plenty of pics of the build. plan is full resto starting with back to bare metal and plenty of rust repairs ( not to bad for its age)anybody had experience with paint removal places in Adelaide?

Thanks oz that would be awesome. Thinking I might paint it in its original colour. Any info on the history of the car would be much appreciated

check the boot or the back of the rear seat. original paint usually found there and sometimes in good nick.

Weekend road trip Betty's got a new shed buddy. she's ruff as guts but as lots of good parts. Next couple of weeks will be spent tearing it apart an seeing if the shell is salvageable.
