Keep the names coming.. love it!!

another question i should have put in the original post is that it came with a second car for spare.

the second car is a four door but a bit well actually alot grottier than mine!!

have included a bigger pic where you can just see the front of it behind my car

the old owner will hold onto it for a bit until i figure out what i want off it and then he know some one who will take the rest...

so my question to you is

what would you take off it??

thanks heaps

It depends whether you have the space to store larger panels - if you have and the wings are ok take them. Being a four door the interior will be different, but the front seats (frames) may be worth having. Interior switches, steering wheel,chrome. A spare engine/gear box are always useful even if just for parts - thats if they are the same cc. and the cars are of a similar age.

i dont know about the cc... thats engine talk isnt it!! 1098cc??
this is only my second ever car!!
my last one cost me $250!!
it died a fantastic death on a freeway nine years ago and have been driving around in husbands car, oh and briefly a leg powered scooter, since!

What year is your car - by the lights it looks about 1958 -1961/2?

Same as "Vikki"! - (below) So original engine = 948cc

1098 came in September '62 ;-)

Post by **ASL642** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 10:23 pm

Well it could have been "born" earlier.

Vikki was registered 13.07.62

You will learn much by having a moggy

Lord knows I have, I've only been tinkering with em since 2002 and still have much to learn!

Post by **ASL642** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 10:30 pm

Well it wont be long for you to wait - the date of 1st registration should be in the log book details which will also tell you the engine size. I'm sure you'll have many happy hours chugging around together. Once you've driven a moggy (sorry morrie) a modern just isn't the same

Don't forget to send us pictures when she/he arrives.

am hoping she arrives today...
well i am off.. 2 out of my 3 boys are awake!!

is 7.30 in the morning here!!

see you all later!!

7.30 and only two of the three are up?

Cor, Get the slaker awake now! You need your driveway scrubbed for the arrival of a majestic vehicle!

Just check the first few digits of the chassis number.
If MA2S 3 then it's a 948 engine
if MA2S 5 then 1098

Assuming it's the same on Oz cars

MAW3972611 = Vikki although now with a 1098 engine

Tue Mar 03, 2009 11:02 pm

they usually sleep til around 8ish!!

i have been robbed of half an hour today!!

will check engine...

Post by **PSL184** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 11:06 pm

Karen, if you check the engine number it will start with a "9" if it is a 948 engine or "10" if its a 1098 engine. Actually check the car though and not the docs as it may have been changed and not had the docs updated. If there is no engine number we'll tell you what else to look out for. You just getting up and we're just off to bed !!
See you in the morning

the five year old is off too school, the three year old should be handy with a broom enough to help... but not too much hope for the one year old!!

maybe i could make him a suit of scrubbing brushes and let him loose on the driveway!
