I like the way they drove the wheels....different!

And the fact the exhaust goes where it should!

Nice job with the old girl(s).

Jim


the way the wheels are driven must be a New Zealand thing as David Auld copied Cranko


Renown did it too and somewhere someone posted a German mobile that is older than both Cranko and Renown that did it so it is possible both OZ and NZ ones copied a very early German one.
But to be honest 'Who Knows'?

Surely you can keep it for a while?
Just to make sure you're properly finished with the resto?
Like a year or three...
