cant wait have only seen your model in the book

Yeah come on Nathan we want to see it. I've seen another one but it wasn't in as good as condition as that one you now have.

Lol I been working till late each day an I havnt even unloaded it out of my ute. I will take it out tomorrow after work an get some pics. An yea it does seem in very good condition the engine cover from what I saw is perfect

Cool sounds good and yes it does appear to be in very condition.Once again good score I am just a little jealous.As I'd love to find one myself.

Here are some pictures. Sadly the engine cover has been butchered to fit a 2 stroke model fuel tank for some unknown reason :-( otherwise pretty tidy n complete

looks pritty good you may be able to fit a different tank from a 2 stroke that had the hole to the right rather than center. then fiber glass the hole up ?

OH no that's not good about the cowl part bugger.Can it be fixed? I guess if you find the right tank for it.Otherwise well done. I'm still a little jealous.

Yea the original tank would come up from the side there. An it must of broken so they put the 2 stroke corvette tank which comes up from the centre I will have a good look tomorrow when i try get it to fire :-)

Oh crap I see what you mean they have cut a whole new hole for the fuel tank.Oh no.I guess if you found a tank you could fill that hole in but the only way to not see the repair work would be to fill and paint it.Bugger I bet that gives you the poops?

Yea cause the cover apart from that is like new lol. I think sorcing a new cover would be very difficult lol

Yes it would be as their isn't that many about.Don't worry I feel for you it sucks when things go like that,but you would be able to fix it.As I said it would just have to be painted to cover the repair area.

Yea ill have a go at repairing it :-)

Just have to find a tank,but I think it's the only way.

The weird thing is other corvette tanks like the 2 stroke ones are metal an the tank they have put in is plastic so I wonder what its off

When you get the tank out post some pictures we'll see if we can work it out.

Iam not wanting to sell the mower. But curous to know if yous wore to sell it what would it be worth/you sell it for? Im thinking of maybe tiding it up a little an just keep it as it is :-)

hey , as far as value goes as much as someones willing to pay . my corvette 4 is a bit older than yours didnt sell in a garage sale and i found it in the scrap pile .
although in time they could well appreciate in value, because there doesnt seem to be many around i have only seen mine and yours.
cheers,tomo

Yea well iam gunna.put it aside for now an eventually ill get around to it lol
