Ok so here is another car..

This was my old mans project and it has just been sitting around for the last 8-10 years. Its a 1938 Oldsmobile and its Australian delivered (RHD)

We rebuilt the motor, gearbox, diff , reset front and rear springs (virtually all drivetrain was rebuilt/recon), we ran the motor for a few min then poured a litre of oil and sealed it all up. He got a decent start to the body.. it was acid dipped and patch panel done using zincneal.

Im undecided to keep this and make it a rat rod but im afraid i wont have the time nor the room so im going to move this on. Apparently when this car is licenced is supposed to be 1 of 2 licenced in Australia currently :eek:

I been going through the shed and majority of the parts have been accounted for. Even comes with spare motor and rebuild kit!!

Car is located in Perth S.O.R.

Offers around 8kono

Nice and rare truck...
GMH had a lot of early commercials here and exported them around the world. This if it is a Holden body is a very rare item. (So.. where is your FORS Import Permit for the brain dead registration people.)

Yeah OldIndian, this is a GMH (Holden) bodied car.
We dont have any permits for this car as we bought it off a bloke locally.
Only have the bill of sale

Bump

Ive got a massive crate from work which i filled up of various parts the old man had collected for this car.. Extra long motor (in pieces), 2 gearboxes, headlights and miscellaneous bits.

Taking offers and 500bux spotters fee to get it moving along

Ive also gave a coat of phosphoric acid 2 weeks ago to freshen up the bodywork.. just mild surface rust before
