Is that a Pine car.....

Do we have an original here in SA or is that photo from Aus.??

Herman

the pics i posted are local, not australia.
the owner has had it for at least 20 years if not more

just spoke to the guy, he says i can pick the car up if i still want it.
he pushed the price up by R5000 but thats still fine by me.
i will make some space for her and start stripping her down.
i want to send the pan out to get redone, new pan, new engine, gearbox and suspension.
who in cape town can redo the whole rolling car for me.
i think i will ask Johny's fineblast to do the body cleanup and then get the body rebuilt by a pro.
any advise on the rebuild please
thanks

congrats man , start a build thread and make sure to post lotsa pics ya hear !

will collect the car at the end of the month and strip the body off next month and send the pieces away for rebuild, i will post pics of the build.

Very very nice!

thats definitely a great find if ever i saw one...

When you get it, please post lot of pics, I would love to know how the wiper motors are set up
good luck rx7badboy

Congrats! That is indeed a very special find

This is very very nice. Congratulations on the cool find. I hope you are able to restore it to close to original. Good luck with it.

they use a wiper motor like the old willys jeeps used

if you look at the photo of my old jeep i used to own, it works the same way.
