Dundee Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 First shot the lad looking pretty unimpressed by the barn find, pretty sure was still upset from selling the Moke! Seems once we gave the Riv a quick bath, whacked her in the garage and he sat on a bucket in it, all was starting to feel better. What a difference the paint colour can display depending on light and angle! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanoko Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 RHD is very cool! Did not know they did a version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No factory RHD, these days it is an expensive conversion to get it right. In this case probably in the 60’s or 70’s the major part was modifying the chassis to handle the steering box. That looks over engineered but some of the dash and heater duct mods were less than pretty so we will be refining some of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 In previous posts in this thread and other threads, there are discussions about proper ride height. I suggested that the horizontal stainless strip was the same height as the center of the wheel. Here’s a factory photo of a 1964 that shows that my suggestion is pretty close, not exact, but close. Actually the bottom of the body line of the bump out lines up with the center of the wheel. Nothing like old factory photos to use as a guage. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Sweeeeeeeet! Hopefully when mine is finished it will look half as nice. Mine too is silver with black custom interior. Odd combination of options on mine. AM/FM with rear seat speaker, rear window defroster, wood wheel, power windows, other basic options but no power seat. Ken, could you post a picture of the Fisher Data Plate? Thanks, Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Car at the resto shop for celebration of its 3rd week March 60th birthday!!! Going down south to see it in 2 weeks and although no assembly has started (just engine and trans rebuild) all the parts have arrived from various suppliers and forum members so will get to go through all that, thanks to many for your help! Some great news that MyUS admitted the error of their ways and refunded over 2000 aud so good they came to the party as we understand things can go wrong but admitting fault is rare so Bravo!! Happy 60th to all you 63ers🎉 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
