Had a close inspection this weekend and could noy find any rust issues other than surface rust. Although this is going to be a long process.

Don't be offended, maybe it's the presentation. All I can see is the side of a white bakkie. :lol:

Of course the folks here are interested, they just haven't had anything to comment on yet (which is not altogether a bad thing...)

That does not seem to be the original motor for the vehicle if its a '58.... the genny pedestal and case are not one unit.... meaning the motor is either a late 1200cc or 1300cc or later engine....

Muds :(
