Trav... Welcome. You've got to get a Japanese baseball player bobble head doll for the rear parcel shelf... Put it on the nanny blanket.

Very nice. Never saw one like this. The visor is great! Motor is beautiful.

Thanks guys...
Im pretty happy with the way its turned out...
I think im almost at the stage to say its finished...
Just have to install the coupe dash & then i can do away with the tacho.

Body Was painted about 8 years ago & still hasn't been cut yet...
I give full credit to my painter/panel beater...absolute Legend status...

-I think for xmas my dear ol' mother is sending me over a knitted tissue box for the parcel shelf, although i have been on the hunt for something like a bobble head....was thinking like a nodding dog or the like....aswell as a lawn bowls or RSL sticker for the rear window..

Gordon: wouldn't be such a bad move to NZ if you wanted...Tis beautiful

Trav.
