Its history
I saw the vehicle advertised on Carsales. Initially, I didn't really clock it being yellow and I think I favorited the car and didn't really think anything more of it. I flew to Sydney for a day with my brother to have a look at another burgundy one, and decided to walk away from that one. I chatted with Mal and decided to fly to Tassie (I'm an ex-Hobartian myself). After a whole morning flying and driving to get to Sulphur Creek, I saw the car in person for the first time. Mal started her up and I think I fell in love at that point. We went for a drive and I purchased the vehicle. Off to the bank to get some bank cheques. It was a sad day for Ros & Mal. So much connection and history relating to his parents. I had already booked a trip on the Spirit and drove to Devonport and jumped on the boat and sailed to Geelong with plans to drive her home to Brisbane.
It was a big ask, having not had a huge amount of use, but what an adventure. Anyway, I got to Deer Park on the Western ring road and a brake caliper stuck on and that was the end of our trip. I can look back now and see the irony. A stag breaking down in Deer Park.
It was on the back of a tow truck off to the freighting company and I flew home. She arrived 14 days later. Longest wait of my life.
Since owning Daisy I've done the following work on her;
*Re-upholstered and foamed the front seats
*All new front wheel ball joints and bushes
*Balanced the carbies
*New thermo fan switch
*New Oil pressure switch
*Machined, diamond cut and painted the original rims
*Fitted new pinstripe white wall tyres
*Paintless dent removal
*Professionally cut the paint, clay barred and ceramic coat
*New windscreen fitted
*Fitted correct windscreen washer bottle and motor
*New bonnet hood insulator
*New seat tilt surrounds
*Fitted a second-hand grill badge imported from the states
She's looking smart and I think I've done all I need to at the moment.
And I'm completely sold on the yellow now. It has a bit of 'look at me' attitude and it suits a Stag!
