Early Mark 5s.
What were they thinking?

And here it is sitting on drums.
Obviously modelled on this Mazda van.
Finally happy with the results.
There were 11 or so Mk.5s produced like this.
The chassis seemed OK.
Time for a rethink and here's the mould for the new front
Road test around the block minus bonnet.
Here's the real Mk.5 out the back behind the dunny, a great improvement.
And here's one of the South Aussie ones.

Is the original one not the ex Me, Rob Wilson-me car from the late 1970's? Rob fitted HK front and rear ends. Went to a guy off Hutt St who painted it yellow.
ReplyDeleteCame from Northcote? Coming home had a race with a GTHO Ph 3 across the Bordertown plains all those years ago?
Of course it was on a trailer pulled by Pete's F5000 XU1 at the time.
LOL
It was not the orange Head Mod Mk 5 I took to the first Easter as I have pics of that drag racing at Riverside in June 1966

Still one of my faves...put a Mk5 on the bucket list with all the others!
