Hi, I've been poking about this forum for sometime now and since I finally picked up my first project car I thought I'd jump in the deep end! I bought a 1950 Ford Single Spinner of eBay just the other day. Sight unseen I might add! Aarrgh!! It has a running 293 Flathead V8 which was the main selling point for me! Like everyone, I have big plans for the bus! Its a left hand drive import from Hawaii and been sitting in a coastal town called Yallingup in Western Australia for a few years now until I bought it! Any other Aussies with a shoebox out there?

also...just to add...mine was also "sight unseen" from the town YORK in WA....let me tell you i was in for a surprise when it rocked up in SA...i nearly had a heart attack
HAHA, I suspect a fair bit of rust but the owner says its not too bad. He had a bit of work done to it in Hawaii. That yellow colour was put on just to seal it. I still haven't seen it yet and I probably wont for another couple of weeks until I head down. I live in Karratha a 2 hr flight north of perth. So its trek and a half to see it. The car has been in Yallingup since it arrived in australia i'm lead to believe. Brendan
I Was watching tis on ebay last week. Im from melbourne and have an original right hand drive Fordor '50. Congrats on the purchase mate, hope to see it come together for you.
