Is this the eBay item you got? The one with the body that was sitting vertically on the back porch of this guy's house? That would have been a huge effort to transport! |

Gday mate.Seems we have a bit in common. I also have a project Wasp. I have promised myself I'll have it at the nationals over your way next year. (Also a table top). Nationals were soooooooo good this year,-Bellett nirvana. Noticed your crown - great tow vehicles - thats a proper chassis. My first 2 cars were belletts (65 & 66&1/2), then I bought a 67 Crown S (MS 41-S), in1979. Beaut car, drove it everywhere - more than 200,000 miles. Poor old thing is still sitting out the back. Current shopping trolley is an 85 crown (with the 2 aircons & the little fridge & lots of electric stuff) - a bit like driving a mattress. Tows good, though, - important for can't miss out Bellett finds. Hope to see your cars in the metal sometime, maybee at the 09 nationals? Cheers, Matt. |

Does this mean that it is no longer maybe a Wasp project but definitely a Wasp project? |

That's a classic photo! How'd you find the leg room... Bloody cramped no doubt! Looks like a good base though, good luck with the project! Cheers, R. |

We didn´t get any Wasps here in Finland... Maybe you must cut off the back wall and move it a little backwards? |

That's a shame, Antii - it's going to make it hard to collect the whole set! 64, you look a bit taller than me - I'm only 170cm and yeah, the elbows are down! The cabstretch has been done - (V6 wasp), adding 15cm to cab and chassis, but that's a lot of work! Catalyst for George was a rusted out roof, so he cut 3/4 of a roof off 1 of my rusty sedans. (The flatter line emphasises the stretch). The space issue reminds me of a journey I once made from Gulgong, N.S.W. to Sydney's west - a distance of about 240 km. I was driving, and in with me were my brother, his wife, and their 4 kids. They were moving house, so the tray was loaded with furnature. Oh, and I was on 'L' plates! True. (There was not a lot of spare space). That was a very different time! Happy restoring! Matt. |
