Hi all im new to the forum (posting). Ive been looking for a while now at the forum, funny read and very helpful.
I have just bought an 11 window 65 & deciding whether to do a full resto or to do a neat RAT.
Cheaper to do the Rat
But anyway, Hello all & i love the forum.. a great and informative read.
Cheers

I'd say that is a very good rat candidate. If you rat it you'll be on the road quicker, plus you can always restore it down the track and have the enjoyment of a rat look now and a restored look later without having to change cars.

Be a top rat, once it's on its guts.
Good purchase
