On the move
Since my last optimistic post several things have changed. Firstly I moved from Auckland to Thames. A small ex gold mining town about an hour away. (In the 1860's for a while it was going to bigger than Auckland over 2,327,619 oz gold produced). My Brother in law also wanted the space back under his house. So time to move the car into a nice dry garage after 9 years. It looks good back on its wheels.

The paint is still looking good. It was painted in 1996 by a friend who has since passed away. Lots of osmosis and bubbling from areas not repainted at that point. Loaded on the trailer and well strapped down as the handbrake is not connected.

And then about 1 hour 30 to the final destination

I now have all the parts I need. I recently bought a set of new pre-owned springs (1 inch lower) as the ones installed had been cut by the previous owner before that was banned. I also have a welder and the steel to fix the rust. So I should at last finally really have some more to post soon.
