Great news to have Mum and Ivy at home safe and sound mate.

Cheers guys. Fatherhood has been going really well. Almost easier then expected so far, though not as much time in the shed these days but I have still been making progress and should have the styleside finally finished this week.

Coolest bit but, is the cab is now painted and ready to go on!!

I just saw and liked this on the 40 FB page. Looks mint dude and welcome back!

Cheers mate.

Also had this gear arrive last week. Seals, rubbers, handles & badges etc. Can't wait to start fitting this stuff.

Thanks to Peter at Tojo 4WD Centre for sorting it all.

Nice build mate, was excited to see the cab mounts until I saw the price!!! Yikes! Is that 416 dune beige or the later 464 beige. The fun definately begins now! cheers!

Its 416 Dune Beige. It looks a little dark in the pictures due to the lighting in the workshop. Will get some better pics of it out in the sun when I get it back on the chassis next week.

Peter is a good bloke I use him a lot

Am really happy with his service. Will definitely use him again.

Picked the cab up yesterday. Finally starting to feel like the end is in sight.

EZ Wire 12 Circuit Wiring Loom turned up today so I can wire it up and get her running again over the next few weeks.

Each wire has what its used for printed on it. So cool.

 

[tonka8110]

That looks great....want to rewire mine

 

[Twisty]

The styleside tub is finally finished....such a mission sorting out all the last little bits. I am sand blasting and etch priming the welds today and its off to panel and paint next week.

 

[Twisty]

New 80AMP internally regulated alternator fitted (original one was was something like 40 amps)

Also got some more panels back from the painters.

They missed welding up some holes on this one, so will have to send it back.

OK any of you guys know about a 45 muster in Coffs Harbour next year I have heard this from a few local 45 nutters. I will need to stock up on plenty off beer and get the spit sizzling for you guys.

 

[chappohj47]

If I have my 47 going I will come up I will bring that case of beer for you for the fibreglass roof you gave me

 

[cult45]

Whoa! When is this?? Coffs ain't that far, even in a thirsty F with three gears.
