Here are a few pics from last Saturday when Oz and I picked up the Farm Fresh WASP65
even to the pile of rat poo under the bonnet.
On the plus side it ran like a clock!
On the not so plus the wiring will need some work and one HELL OF A CLEAN!

Sure is, have got some VR Berlina alloy wheels to go on it too  300kg so weight worked out well! Ebay Electric winch worked a treat  Thanks Davo, Looking forward to sorting out the bugs and getting it on historic Reg

6 Stud wheels Pa Man, I don't think the Holden wheels will fit unless you have them re drilled, or are you talking about going on the trailer.  A great example of a Wasp, very well done!! I am sure it will look a "million dollars" very soon!!

Nice one Josh! Poor Keith...Bellett-less after 46 years, but nice to see at least 3 of the Freegard's cars get a good home on this forum. Looking forward to seeing you on the road

My bad, was talking about the trailer with the Holden wheels  Cut and polish is next on the list after the electrics and putting back the original Bumper back on. The amazing part is the tray has no rust holes, a front section was plated before Keith bought it, and they used it a lot in establishing their property in the hills, including quite a few loads of horse manure So am thrilled that after all that there are no holes

Josh, You have done very well, another saved!! Plenty of photos of your progress please!!! I know of another near Sydney, however in sad condition if anyone is interested PM me. It has a tray body not a tub style body. Rust in the turrett might be the biggest problem.  Are you going to Merimbula?? Dave.

Fantastic pick-up mate, And I like it just the way it is, except maybe for the racks. Pretty agricultural. Though if you left them on I reckon you'd have to bolt a few l o n g boards on there, and tie the red rag on the end. "Working clothes".
And the rat poo, you can loose that too!
Cheers & good onya, Matt.

Here are a few photos of a CLEAN Wasp 65 Washed and polished...photos hide a lot of issues But not too bad! (at a distance) Mini seats being re-upholstered, VDO gauges in temporary placement while dash gauges being sorted, BUT tidy!  Trailer LED tail lights as have only one original one so far, still need a lens for the second one! Engine Bay, new Bellett radiator, generator re-build and some re-wiring, still work to do! New (second hand) tyres all round, trim rings and Bellett hub caps (Wheels were modified to suit)  Lot of things still to sort but happy to drive it now Josh
