The Val

Building our Val

The Valiant arrives in Sydney October 5th, 2009.
Surprisingly after 18 months in storage, it started without too much effort and then drove up the ramps onto the trailer under it's own power!
Yes, that is Ned Kelly on the bonnet and
Yosemite Sam on the tailgate!!!

The Valiant arrives in Sydney October 5th, 2009.

And the restoration begins.......

10th October 2009
Seats and all trim is removed and the car prepared for cleaning and respraying. The compression test on the motor was good. Reconditioning is not required!
 Drive shaft, motor and transmission are removed ready for checking and servicing. Engine mounts replaced and the carburettor will be rebuilt also

Thanks to
Morris Powerlec
for use of their crane to lift the motor out.
