Time to let the cat out the bag...

 

A few people already know, but I guess I should let the rest of the world know too :jamie:

 

Just over a month ago, I made a snap-decision purchase to bid on this KE36 Panel Van on eBay and happened to have won it, so off I went on a 37 hour journey (with little sleep) to Melbourne to pickup this little gem.

 

 

 

This is how it stands now:

 

 

The front guards and apron are all dented up, so I've sourced some rust free panels and will be fitting them up and giving it a lick of paint and then it should be all systems go to get it ID checked and on the road.

 

Enjoy!

nice of you to drop in and say g'day...

 

I was there for a total of 20 minutes and its hard enough navigating with a car trailer down the West Gate Freeway. The car was in Caulfield and I have no idea where you are located :jamie:

 

I'll be coming to Melbs at the end of the GORC cruise for the rest of the week, so I'll come see all your vehicles then ;)

 

Regarding the motor, I used some trade plates to move it to my old mans place and it goes ok. Needs a tune badly though as the 3K-B cars are out of balance, and that will get sorted once it has SA registration :)

Panel damage is bugger all since the front guards I now have are dead straight and the body isnt that bad at all. My old KE36 was way worse! :jamie:

 

The 37 hours was from being awake from 12pm Sunday arvo, then jumping in the Magna at midnight, driving all the way there then all the way back :)

Love these things. I liked the steelies better, though :jamie:

 

For those of us who didn't look at the ebay add long enough fill us in with the details about the car!

I'm sorry but i despise the dragways! Otherwise, i am a little jealous!
