Hi, This is my first attempt of posting a pic of my Tranny. It's a 1976 mark 1 I have owned for about 15 years. The body is pretty good, no rust anywhere that I know of. I will post more once I transfer more photos.
Cheers
Ian

Now that is nice, and is that unusual mushroom colour original?

Hey thanks for the kind words. Makes it worthwhile all the years looking after her.
Fred Transit, yes the colour is original although now has new spray job 2 years ago. You either like it or don't, one of those colours!!!
Luke, the wheels are standard sort of!!! I took the centres out and had them welded to new 15" rims ( was 14" ) and a touch wider, knocked the revs down a touch. Unfortunately the three speed gearbox is nearly shot, so I'm replacing it with a 5 speed Toyota Supra box, as soon as I find one.
I will post more pics close up soon.
