ford gpa g504

G'day All,
For the interest of forum members, I sighted Engine Block GPA9850 last week. Unfortunatly it does not come with the rest of a GPA. The owner said he would part with it if the matching hull/frame should surface.
Have fun

M29C (Floater)

Hello John,

Nice to see you on this Forum. How is your floater coming along?
Did you get the parts from Richard allready?

Hello John.

I had hull and chassis of gpa 9849 , recently sold to Brett Nicholls in Penrith.


jhecker.

Hello,

By any chance, is it possible to have a close up picture of this number on the engine ?

Regards

G'day All,
First off,
For Mithril - No problems about getting a photo of the engine number for you. Be patient though as it will be a little while until I get back out to the engine.
For Leo - Great to hear from you. Yes I received you parts from Richard, thankyou. Not much to report on my M29C to date. Since we last wrote I have moved 700kms to take up a new job at the Australia Telescope Narribri as a Cryogenics Officer. With the move everything went on hold but I have just signed a contract to purchase a house on 28Ha's of land, so all going well I should be able to get the weasel down here and get back to work. At present I am getting a reproduction fuel tank made up by a friend of Richards. Out of interest he fabricates fuel tanks for GPA's and I am told by Richard that they are an excellant reproduction. Not sure of cost. I am always searching for parts. See URL http://www.g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=69256. If any forum mebers come across a set of the deflector panels that are located behind the Surf shield and are for sale, please let me know.
For John - G'day. This engine block came out of a jeep from Lismore. It was from a deceased estate so thats about all I know. I hope you put those DUKW parts to good use. Thanks for picking them up a short notice.
Thats about all for now.
Best regards
John Wilson
