SO.. massive day, up at 4.30am flew to sydney and picked up the red gld, drove it 10 and half hours without radio or company to melbourne and got to meet some of the character of the car..

i think the dash is a little cross wired;
brake fluid light on all the time (despite plenty of fluid), until i turned the lights on and it went off.. so i figure its earthed to the lights..?
then got to albury and it was getting dark turned the lights on and only had parkers or high beam. it seems the stalk is jammed or broken because i couldn't squirt the wipers either..

besides these little things the car is fairly solid and straight minus a dent in the bonnet, small bit of rust on the rear right door and under the front screen (10c size). with no stereo i was expecting it to be quite noisy and rattly but was pleasantly surprised at how quiet is was.. even at 100kph you can hear it working but not screaming.

got great economy 580km from 28.5ltr only had to fill up once between sydney and melbourne.

with get some photos up tomorrow if have time..
