That's a cool story Jesse, and your right of course... the car looks amazing. Probably one of my favorites from current users
Eddie, the car is looking amazing!! better than it ever did! Top Work!
I have an idea of why the car was missing a panhard rubber and bush...
This one time, on a camping trip, late at night, I was driving her down a 4x4 only road. I'd covered quite a few long corrugated unsealed roads to get there, so they had already given her a bit of a shake-up.
Anyway, the panhard rod nut must have worked it's way loose and jumped ship, never to be seen again. I tried looking for it in the pitch black with my iphone torch, but it wasn't to be.
I pulled a trusty piece of rope from the boot and tied the panhard rod back into place. I cried myself to sleep that night... in the wilderness... with a broken 86 and a broken heart.
As soon as the sun rose I nursed the 86 to the nearest town (80kms) and rolled up to the local garage, hoping they'd be open (being a Saturday in a sleepy ass town). Thankfully they were and the old man let me rummage through his nuts until I found something I liked the look of. He even let me put the car up on the hoist and use the rattle gun. Top bloke!
I promised myself I would fix it properly with the right parts when I got home... I never did.
Keep up the great work Eddie!
