Are yu thinking of buying it?
Maybe one of us northern adelaide gizas could do a proper unbiased check on it for yu. Over here a defected car really devalues them , if it needs to go thru Regency Park checking station , apart from the cost of the check... It might come out with more serious defects which is the way they work to get more money or for yu to give up and wreck the vehicle. On the other hand if it's only a police check(rare) ur laughing as the rozzers don't know front from back half the time on old cars. .. And they only check the written problem. .ie oil leak.. Usually free and off yu go !
If the owner removes the defect by legal means , the car may sell for a grand or two more( if he tidies it up ) .
Cheers

Unfortunately the twin carbs are not legal either yet was defected for rust and oil leaks.

Hi Marty. It is tempting (thanks for the offer to look at it) but I really have too much on my plate as it is. Still 5K a lot of cash to part with, plus transport to Qld and unknown condition as far as rust goes. But seems like a good project that wouldn't lose the money spent on it. Cheers
