    Engine and Trans Freshen up and a few ancillaries that need updating Mick, it's a 308 bottom end and 304 Top, they're such a nice car, my first car was a HQ Couple so they hold a special place in my memories!

    It's funny I remember my Coupe as a BIG Car, compared to a VZ it's Medium!

    Used to be able to do it when I was a Kid, not so much these days, I got the owner to help before they left, also have a TH700 to go into it, got them to help get it out of the boot

    When I was a kid, the old dude at the end of our street ( probably 60 at the time) had an LE Coupe and the Panelvan that looked exactly the same, colour and all. He used to potter around in them both as daily drivers.
