Sweet car. Nice Valiant color too :-)
In Australia it is called "Thar she blue" or America calls it " Petty blue"

LOL, I know it isnt a Valiant, but the color looks to be from the 1969/1972 color charts.

Sure did, thanks for your help with that.
It now has about 3 or more liters extra in it.
The poor thing needs a bit of a birthday now though!

The mechanicals of the box are fine, but given the accelerated wear that would have been caused by low fluid pressure, I would think that the clutches ect would be overdue to be replaced.
