Nice addition to the jig saw puzzle of provenance. I guess you are also looking for a T bucket owner who once owned a Monaro.

Crazy thing is I never missed going to the Puke Swap meet from 1997- to 2009- .
Once again, everything in life is about timing, and this wasnt the time.

I thought it was only British Leyland and the Italians that made cars with that degree of built-in obsolescence. :o

Good to know you can get replacement panels, and a good panel beater girl. :p

Keep posting those progress pics, helps to motivate the rest of us to pull finger on our own projects. :)

John, when Ian used to help Goody he and his wife bought the Jacaranda Motel in Epsom, then like any Ford engine, that all blew up and Ian moved to Aussie. In the early to mid `80s he ran the Spears workshop in East Tamaki, and also helped Bill Adams from Aimco Aerials with his dirt track mini which Ian built a real serious engine with fuel injection on an Ardun head. I often wonder where that motor ended up. Ian was a real nice guy who could get any engine happening.......

How is Randall these days? Haven't seen him since he assembled a Fiat 500 engine for me when he was still an apprentice........
