yet another find for me out in the sticks :) I saw this car advertised on a local facebook sales page earlier in the year for $500, and after not being able to find the page again assumed it had been sold. long story short the supposed buyer wasn't interested in doing any repairs after inspecting it (has a few patches of rust) so the owner pmd me and offered it to me for $150 because she was moving overseas and needed it gone, so I'm the new proud owner :) its a 1977 ke30 4 door auto, rust in usual places, interior is half shagged, smells of mice and old people, but it runs and drives......but doesn't stop as the brakes need work :/ so far I have stripped the interior, cleaned the seats, carpet and repainted the scuff panels and auto surround. dash pad is next on the long list of things I need to do. its going to take me a while, but so happy to be back in a ke again.

smells of mice and old people

 

Ha ha, isn't this standard these days?

 

Can't go wrong with the price, great pickup!

And petrol fumes

Not much has been happening lately, except for eleanor giving me sad looks from the garage as i use the roof and bonnet to store things on. Oh eleanor has been carried on from the previous owners giving her the name

uh-oh... I had the panels on my Datsun 1600 stripped years ago, then it sat in the garage waiting for me to do something about painting it. It was a handy shelf for light stuff.. When the painter got hold of it he said "boot's flked, it has taken a shallow dent right across it from somethng being left on it.".!
