It's the gt starlet giddup. Jig was kindly provided by an ausmini member. I'll let him own up if he's prepared to get bombarded with requests.

Postage is not a problem, my sister lives in Isabella Plains and my mother-in-law lives in O'Connor. We are up there at least once a year visiting. I just arrived back from there last Sunday. If I'd known the jig was availble, I would have had the trailer with me.

Hi Guys,

Jig is mine (based on the NASA tested and approved design of Minstar)

Its free to borrow for any conversion project.

Only stipulation is that you have pick it up and drop it back once finished.

People shouldn't have to spend money on a jig when, as Matt says, other people have them rusting away in their sheds. :wink:

Regards,
Andrew

That would be great if you can keep it for me. I will let you know when I am next headed for the ACT.

I'm thinking a Suzi GTi or Micra Turbo conversion on Moke would be fun!
