been a bit going on getting all the ducks in a row. Bit of Barter, bit of cash, lots of frustration moments.
Have had all the mechanical tidy Tie rods, Shaft, etc. etc.(Well sort of) Just picked it up from Sodablasting all the old paint off, Hint Air hose off before driving, just a dust cloud for the first few km's Soda very bitter taste when your breathing it in a Cab Lots of weird looks as I drove my mobile dust cloud down to the spray painter Kids don't know it yet but they have bought me new indicator lenses, Reflectors & rear lense for Fathers day Pics cause I know you like em. Cheers

Productive time lately finished strip down to finish repairs to ready for undercoat got new bits lens's & such. Mate is an A-grade sparky giving me a hand when time to rewire fix up all the odd stuff people have done over the years of owners Try and keep the momentum going.
Cash to fund slows things down a bit, which is why barter is a great thing here are a few pics Cheers All

you might have exceeded your noobie quota. when i first joined the forum i could only post so many pics before i hit my quota. way to expand it is to get past i think 50 messages or more. so in other words, be active on forum, comment on some builds and get post another 10 messages and you should be able to load more

looking good so far mate.

 

[Strategic1]

Would look better if I can get a few hurdels out of the way & get some dirt roads under the tyres. Deep breaths, trying not to rush anythin but really hanging to get out and give it a good drive. Cheers

Keep going buddy, I'm enjoying watching your progress. Inspiring stuff.

Ah! another Melbourne boy thanks mate. The missus thinks it's more of a bit of madness than inspiring Some days she thinks I have
tourettes syndrome with the amount of swearing when I'm working on the old girl
