ON THE ROAD BREAK OUT THE BEERS!! 
Done and dusted, now officially registered and on the road. Mission complete! Will keep updating blog of course with future plans and developments to the Kinder Surprise car :)

My heartfelt thanks go out to a lot of people who made this journey possible.

Jonathan of Japanese Restorer magazine, for his kindness and unparalleled knowledge of these vehicles, advice, and help finding the rare things along the way. I recommend J Classic followers grab his backissues as they are a great testament to these old things.

Paulie, for letting me see another one of the same model and letting us rescue some of her. Hope the coupe is coming along well!

Pedders St Kilda, for willingness to help out an old car and go beyond the call of duty to find components and research viable alternatives.
