Wow, sorry to hear this. Streamliner guys had a special comradery back in the 90's & we all helped each other when the chips were down. At this time back in 1994 our junk was in a container going to Australia, two liners, a lakester, a comp coupe & a roadster made the first trek to Lake Gairdner. The results weren't great but what a trip it was.
Bon voyage Mate!
