I have made some enquiries regarding the Elmore lead, waiting to hear back from a local friend. Meanwhile, I posted for you on the facebook page mentioned above. If you go to it & join it, you can see the replies so far.
One comment - ' I think there is the remains of one in a paddock just outside Arauen in NSW. Heading towards Maruya' (Maybe Araluen & Moruya?)
Cheers, SGTL

Why don't you try contacting Pyramid Tyre & Auto 5455 7214. At least they may know what you are talking about as opposed to a non mechanical person!  |

That is an absolutely amazing resto, what a great head turner & a constant small expense advertiser.
What did the engine & running gear end up being?
