Thanks Keith, need to get some more stuff picked up from my place (mostly fenders). Also need to get the convertible on the early chassis so the early chassis, gearbox and 36hp engine are all together with the body. That would save a lot of handling parts and I have people interested in the gearbox and pan.

 

[Kieran53]

As Keith said, let us know if you want a hand with the move.

 

[broz]

i'll be heading to jumpstart with the estate Johan so I can haul stuff for you. ill talk to you tomorrow over a coffee.
