Hi Greg,

That page you refer to is run by George here in Adelaide. He's a really nice bloke and has helped me out on the thread "Rise of the Phoenix" which I'm sure you've pondered over. That thread shows how that the most delapetated machine can be brought back to life and look like new.

It's come to the point now that no Scott Bonnar 45 is to be cannibalised, regardless of it's current state. Must admit this wasn't the case 5 years ago when plenty were still finding their way to the scrap yards for recycling, but now even a rusty bucket of bolts is worth $350 plus on the open market. Staggering isn't it ?

Regardless of the condition of your chassis, it must be either repaired / renovated or completely / fully restored.

Cheers,
BB.

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
