The 1st time I laid my eyes on her along the road with a big sign "For Sale"...I know she's meant for me :)
So I got her and she will be my 2nd project car...
Due to age, rusts are everywhere! :)
Time to work to bring back her beauty!

Actual pic the time I got her

Engine bay

I am really surprised to see no oil leaks on the engine

Engine is clean for its age


Even the carb is clean

The brake and clutch caps cover are all rust!


Here's some body parts that need repair works


Water container for the windshield wiper :)

Underchassis....LEAKS!


Worn out rubber bushings everywhere!

The handbrake doesn't work but at least the cable is intact, probably just minor adjustment

I will update every now and then for the progress....

'got a new pair of tail lights (let me know who needs one as I know a supplier)

'saw this side mirror as I was walking a street about to be assembled on a jeep but convinced the owner that it doesn't look good and he agreed so I got it :) I did not fit these side mirrors yet on the pickup, hopefully they'll look good otherwise I will have to sell these
