If i brought a Model A 30 coupe tomorrow that had been in a barn for 50 yrs the last thing i would think of is painting it!

or washing it,or taking it out in the rain or driving to fast so the dust blows off!!!!!

i hate to disappoint everyone but the only plans for this car are to get it safe and working and road legal and tidy enough to get me learning to drive. It's not really my cup of tea, i reaaaaaaaaaally want a wagon, but it was too good an offer to pass up and Brock's a sucker for rescuing strays!
And it can't possibly lose the wheels it has on it at the mo...they match the paint!

^I'll happily swap you my old wagon

When your ready to part with it, I shall be first in line

we'll keep that in mind...watch this space

Hey guys - bit of an update -

Rear disks ground - New Bendix rear pads
New thermostat fitted and new coolant.
Front disks off to get ground
4x near new 185/70r14 Supercats - thanks Brendan (mint16) and Chris (Firestoners)


Has only done 450kms since last service so ill do an oil change at 1000kms

Things left to do

Front pads
Auto Tranz Filter and fluid
Front Windscreen - guy coming to look and will see if he can either get one or cut one to suit.
Exhaust - poked from headers back - will price up steel etc to do my own aswell as geting someone else (eg Magoos) to do it.
Re-Vin

I've just got my bro inlaw onto the windscreen sorry for the delay but it's been nuts after the quake and new baby.
should have a price asap to compare

sweet seems to be a hard one like johns 330 cedric as the pillared sedan have a diff one to the hardtop pillarless

$150 bucks he has one left they lost a lot of stock will check again that it's the right one i asked for the pillerless one

I checked and he said it was rare to find.
Also i know of a laurel being wrecked out in Leeston..
Would you know if the disc brakes of this model would fit a 1600??

should do they are simillar to 910 bluebird ones - ill measure them up for yo as i have the wheels off atm - can you tell him to hold the windscreen for me. - sweet let me know about the one for wrecking as id buy the whole thing if possible.
