Hey hey, my old car...great to see its actually out and about these days. If you want a bit of history on it I bought it off a gardener in Diamond Harbour who bought it off an old woman who had owned it since new. This would have been about a year and a half ago. Apparently the woman hardly used it but it failed its warrant beacause of the at the bottom of the right front fender...(the harsh sea air got to it) My brother and I cut some metal out from the baseplate of a 1940's typewriter to patch it up with bog to smooth it. I looked to get plates for it for about 8 months before giving up and flicking it on. From what I remember that a12 was a beautiful runner, pulled harder than my current a14, the most I got to drive it was from diamond harbour to belfast, all the way across town with no plates.
hey thanks dude cheers for that ae, good to learn a bit of history about it, and yea she's a good wee runner quite impressed how well it goes, i was just very fortunate to have a wagon with live plates to swap it over and get it legal, drives very well and now it lowered and got some decent size feet handles extremly well
not really an update but am planning to put a CA18DE into wagon at some stage this year im moving back to dads for a while so plan is DE motor and 5spd then cert, then a DET further down track, well that the plan anyway
Bro we just scored one like yours bro from chur cuz "blacksmere" - flaxmere in HB.
looks like they all rust in the same spots
sweet score dude looks good with wheels and slammage - CA18de conversion is the go uses less gas than the A15 and goes twice az hard - only took dad and i 2 months on and off to convert and get certed and im sure all the boys will be keen to help.
Once we are down if you havnt done the conversion by then you can drive the Y to see what they go like.
