Thanks,mate.

Thats all I can find at the moment.

All the trims and moulds are pretty nice,plus I have heaps of spare ones...

Thats unless you have a mint rear bar you'd like to chuck in the post.....geeze nice undamaged bars are getting hard to find.

Ive got plenty of bits and pieces too,if I can help you out with anything,just let me know.I dont chuck anything away........Got no Munro stuff,though.

Thanks again,Craig.

same hear,
rear bars are thin , have a few front pearlers,but the monaro,s will gobble them up,
when i go up the farm one day i,ll check the other tail gate,the one hear is fairly good for rust but needs work.

I have to give credit where credit is due.

I did not lay the colour or the flake down on the roof.

It was squirted on by a buddy Paul Kelly who was down from Brissy for a week on another errand,he offered and I put up my hand.

Thanks Paul,you are a Bloody Legend.

It really has come up very nicely. I really like the car, but I do think it's begging to be dumped to the weeds.

What is that deflector thing? Is that a factory fitted item? Does it have a purpose? lol

Yes,Heath,the weeds is where it belongs.

I have some dropped spindles and Im gunna chop a coil out of the springs,too.

Bring the back down to suit by playing with the leafs and some lowering blocks if necessary

That deflector is either a factory option or a Nasco accessory.It stops the dust and dirt accumulating on the back window.There are several styles from HK to HG that I have seen.

Sorry, if it's also period it's kinda cool. I just prefer those simple silver ones that are more common on old wagons
