Thank you all for the thumbs ups. While I was going through the films to select stuff to include, I got nostalgic for that multi-coloured look which had naturally developed from picking one 60 wreck to the next to replace all the rusted out panels. But I had to 'homogenise' it when we moved...

Gday everyone, my ole brown 60 'Mr Brown' was meant to go for roadworthy/TÜV back in May.. but once I started working on it, it just escalated, with one rust patch leading to the next and now I'm in quite deep.. While it was on stands, in its current state, I got to thinking that...

A staggering amount of thorough and detailed work - it's gonna look as though it just rolled out of the factory. Now I know what you fellas do during those dark months up there! I can barely keep mine road legal let alone consider a fraction of this level of resto and it wasn't too flash to...

Hey, just caught up with this. Good to see a Tassie Cruiser. Looks like you're doing a good job getting it up to scratch. I like the 70 series bumper you got to fit. It was almost impossible to find a bumper in Tas when I removed the big bit of fence that was stuck on the front. Everyone had...

It's almost a year since the last post on this marvellous thread.. so I re-awaken it with a post from south Germany. Hope all are well in what has been a rather strange year so far. We were planning to return to Tas next year overland but now everything is up in the air. It could be worse...

There's some info here : Rear sliding windows - rebuild (step by step - LOTS of pics)

Gday. Still Cruisin! First night out with my newly built trailer. I was so busy finishing up and wiring the thing that we hit the road late for our hols but luckily found a beaut spot as the sun was sinking. On the German border, looking across the Rhine into France. Wife was bloody surprised...

Two weeks of school holidays have just started here so we're heading off camping for a few days. Last night was a test to see if all six of us can still fit in the tent. This is a place where they shoot wild boars - hence the stand. They're eating all the small trees apparently. We learned...

Finally got the rear sliding windows sorted. To answer my own question - above - I used a Subaru colour called ' charcoal black metallic' but it looks like good ole original black. Does have a bit of metallic sparkle. I was given a good tip by a Cruiser mate here who used a punch to cut out...

That's some big ole mountains in the above post! Still my favourite thread. Love seeing everyone out and about. Weather has warmed up here so we had a night out . Dropped the kids with the in-laws and went into the forests. It had been raining quite a bit so chewed some mud but the Road...

I said I was starting on my rear sliders a year ago and I've only just pulled my finger - and the windows - out. The old rubber came out in a multitude of dried up pieces no longer than 1cm. And a big dump of bulldust. One frame rusted out on lower corner, luckily I have a spare. Does anyone...

Impressive piece with a great history. Nicely put together. Thanks for posting that. That is my cup of tea. I am also a louvres lover. Cruiser blokes can have some softer transport too!

Looks alright. I like the bar work front and rear.

Looks like a nice 3 series Bimmer in the background above. Some more pics?

That 'opening' is for the PTO drive shaft. Great drawings. How about one with a bit of lift? I'd take a T-shirt in the style of that bag.
