The Challenge is ON!

This is the car that I learnt to drive in . . .
It has lost it's way on the farm over the years, but now has a second chance at lifeAlign Center
Little Pete, has 6 or so years, to bring old "Betsy" back to humming stage
I think it could need more than "food"
The challenge has begun

    That must have been really tough learning to drive in that car, the steering wheel is on the wrong side :)

    My husband is a passionate collector of vintage cars. I think you will have a lot of fun rennovating this car and even more driving it again.
    I will be very interested in seeing the final result, good luck!

    How wonderful. I love old cars. I'm a Holden girl myself. Would love to own a 60's Holden one day.
