hey guys i'm marty, just took purchase of a 62 splitty. saw it on ebay but didnt bid. went and checked it out after it didnt sell and bought it then and there. so proud. Has minimal rust, pretty tidy and gives me a good starting block to tidy her up and hopefully one day turn her back to original.. catch you guys round somewhere.

she is now. the old owner said she would pass any rego. took her to my mechanic. we went right over her and found a few things. handbrake cable was welded. so just replaced that. needed new brake shoes and brake master cylinder. got that done. lights werent wired up properly so all that got done. a few other little bits and pieces but nothing to major. so yeah after a bit of stuffing around it got blue slipped and rego. will be taking her on the pizza cruise the day before nationals if your around.
