The car was gifted through me to The Safe Haven Outreach - I am the founding director and everything I have, have had and will have in the future I give to the cause of assisting street kids and homeless youth here in Tasmania. Therefore I refer to we as the organisation. Sorry for confusion Dave

DaveDavis you said in the for sale thread that the car was a "gift from god" so are you saying you're god?

Ah k sweet. So what does this car require for completion?

Wow that would be fantastic - we will take whatever you have - olease send COD if you can via mail - if not then we will be very happy to send you a Cheque or money order - your choice. Bless you heaps for your generosity - do you want some progress pics sent as we take them ? - we have a lot of work ahead of us here but the kids are really getting motivated by the project - street kids taking pride in sharing ownership of the project. Dave

Yes Dave keep the pics coming, im sure there are a lot more ppl with spares laying around they would donate! Good Work, JET

Looking forward to pics!

Just a question Dave - If you are restoring it to its original condition why do you require a "CD / MP3 Player � speakers � Amp etc. with appropriate base drivers" and "Brake, clutch and accelerator pedal Monza snap ons" :?: :?:

Was also told by KIP (previous owner) that we will need a sump guard as he DESTROYED the sump guard during the Duttons Rallee last year
