Yowee the Loveable

Collection of P76's , Marina's etc

The car was purchased from Mr Lew Macdonald at Mt Cotton, Qld.
: It took 2 loads to recover all the equipment from Lew's place.
: On Saturday morning a friend, Leo and I went to Lew's place with our 6x4 trailer. We packed the boot full of equipment and the trailer was over flowing with everything else.
: That afternoon I returned to Lew's place and loaded the P76 onto the car trailer for the short trip from Mt Cotton to Sandgate.
: It took over 2 hours to travel home, this time via the city as the P76 pulling the trailer would not have made it over the Gateway bridge.
: The maximum speed that we reached was 70 klms.

While removing the rear bumper to ready the rear left quarter for repair, I noticed so flakes of rust on the left hand turret raise floor.
: With the aid of the screw driver, I did some poking and found that the blade pasted through the car body into the wheel well.
: What I found is that after they had assembled the car, the metal work in the wheel well was not treated or sealed or they must have run out of the sound deadener.
: What they created was a cavity where dirt and water was able to enter and sit. A rust pocket
: I would suggest an inspection of the boot as well as in the wheel arch for signs of rust.
: What I need to do is to try and remove the flakes of metal, dirt and rust.
: Treat the rust surface with a converter, then fill in the holes with gorilla hair bog.
: Apply new sound deadener again in the wheel arch.
