Hey Nug, I have its long lost brother. Another Oct 57 built which was originally Gunyah Grey. I got it from Cairns but I'm sure it's a Brisbane car originally.
I'd love to know how close they are - I'll send you a DM

This past week has seen me make up all the hard lines. Re-used all the end fittings from the old lines - with a wire wheeling and a coat of paint they are as good as new - total cost of $32 for all new hard lines
Also fitted a new pan seal
new gear shift coupler
A friend also donated a busted old 4 tab which is exactly what i wanted... wired that sucka straight on with some raw steel wire into the existing 4 tab holes...

Found this pic from 2016 when we checked on saint christopher on our trip to go pick up my brother coral oval… this was the trip that sealed the deal for us to come collect her from her resting spot about 2 weeks later….
Anyway… pan complete
Rallied the boys together for a shed night to lift the body back on the pan and bolt it all down
