Day one of driving round in full summer sunshine and yeah, wow. I should’ve done this years ago!

Necessity is definitely the ...

I need to make a few trips over the next couple of days in the Ute and the forecast is pretty toasty here in Sydney… so I figured it might be time to install the venetian that Blacky sent me the other month.

I had planned to hit it with rust blaster and repaint, but having just spent two hours on ...

Hi Joe. Just spent a few hours reading through Leroy's journey, as I saw the recent posts and realised I had not followed this build through. What a great story it was. You have a gift with words that made it a real pleasure to read. Lot's of great engine and technical info in there too, and of ...

Hi there AVM

Oddly enough, I've just discovered I have an ...

Hi Joe,

Good to hear your still about !
Do you still have the Stude ?

Regards Greg


Gday Greg! Hope you're well mate. No, I was made an offer I couldn't refuse on the Stude before I finished it. That's the second time this has happened to me now, but I'm not complaining. It lead to bigger and ...

Good to hear mate. Tapatalk is the go.
