It's not bad at all. Hardly any rust visible. If only they lasted that well over here in the UK.

It was a dealer accessory back in 1964
£10 worth of pure class :tongue:
the air of originality is currently being polluted by mismatched coloured innocenti flares... :erm:

My plans from the start have always been
(in this order)
-Make it stop
-Make it turn
-Make it go
-Make them Stop laughing at me
The stopping is being sorted as we speak, as the single leaing shoes have chucked for the C**per S discs and a rover rear subframe.
The turning will be sorted in a week or two when i fit the adjustable bottom arms and tie rods
The "go-ing" will be a A+ 1275 and, who knows, possibly a supercharger.
The "stopping them laughing" is the paint work..
i think it'll last for a while before the morris oxide really starts to attack, it doesn't rain salt in Australia. :grin:
that's about all there is ....the last two are going to be a while away, i think...
then i start work on the van... :fear:
