any larger images? that's inspirational.
one of my brother's mates is big into land rovers so that would be the way forward. think he might even have a gypsy ripe for cannibalising sitting about too. toyota would be the most sensible option, agreed, but i would like it as british as possible. [he says with a 4k sitting in his engine bay]
but that is for the next big rebuild. currently just wanting to get back on the road quickly. tidy up the obvious rust around the screen and in the floor, a coat of flat black and dropped a few inches over powder-coated biscuits.

Anyone want to swap a Marina for my Pulsar

? Hasn't turned a wheel since November (hardly been used since I've been taking the train to work in the city), just cluttering up my carport...

Hmm, only $163 for the ferry + petrol...
It's got a couple of rust spots on the doors and tailgate

, and the power windows are on the fritz :roll: , but it's mechanically sound afaik. Should renew the WOF and see what it will fetch on TradeMe.

Hi Bryan
So, Maybe the coupe will be ready and maybe not, but, I have bought a mint (ish) 1975 Tc Sedan and a 1975 van which will be ready!
Are we gonna pop down and take some photos in Newmarket? Any chance we can get in the old factory?

I'll jump on the train at lunch time, and go up to Newmarket and see what I can find out.

Doesn't look like there's any way to get "in", but might be able to arrange to park in front for photos. I presume the larger salmon-coloured building at the rear, with the "razorback" roof, was part of the complex. It's now occupied by the Farmers Home Store.
