Default Re: Australian A's

I am 99% sure that this car is mine. Unfortunately, the engine was swapped at some point between 1977 and 1988 (the last documented time periods for it) but otherwise, the story of this car matches everything I know about mine.

I'm trying to see if the original owner of the car who took it to Rhodesia is still alive in order to determine if it is the same car - or at least hear the story of how he found and restored it. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Question for the group: does anyone know of a source for Australian Mountain Ash, preferably in the US? For some reason, it seems quite difficult to find and I'd like to replace some of the non-ash boards used in the restoration of the car, as it's now a mix of about 85% ash and 15% red oak.

Thanks!

Dave
