Hope all you guys are well.

Should rego it in NSW..it's easier than up there (not to re-rego that is) as you folk don't need yearly inspections as we do..but at least we know yearly if things need doing...and are forced to do so!
Things are OK down this way Mate..Just make sure next time you're on the phone to Pete & Kim, make sure you talk to Kim in a South African accent..she'll be impressed!... (maybe)

Had the morning off, went to QT Kessels Road, forgot one form and panicked, thinking I had to go back to Rathdownie. Rang Fi. She said lay out all the forms on the floor and tell me what you have. Turned out I had all I needed. Went to QTMR Greenslopes, no problems. Back to work by 12.00. Driving FB up to the Pub tonight (Trivia).After driving VR Wagon today FB feels good again, even with crap new gearbox. Tim, I really like all pre crossflow falcon engines, especially 170s +221s but they just WON'T do good backfires when you turn the key off, then back on again, eh Pete. Not like an EJ! eh Pete!!
Tony.
Hey Pete and Scotty. You both have trouble with EJ mufflers blowing off! When I drive EJs, they just fall off (On Yarramundi Bridge) but I just slam whats left in the back door and carry on my way! Hey Deadsled. Gday! It was me the other night at Kosmos, and a while ago, coming out of Hobbyone on Creek Road in Fi's lilac EK. You had a HJ I think, and I was the "Older Guy" etc. No harm done. I think I am the older guy! Asfar as sunvisors go, they are good for Kenworths and Mexican Los Bombas, but not for little old me! Cheers Guys.

Hey Stuart Parisian62. I finally read your story on Old Timer EK wagon last night while also watching telly. What a great story with agreat outcome. The work you guys have done in your back yard (front yard?) makes the welding and painting I did on Fi's Lilac sedan (NONO62) seem pretty easy stuff. In your story, I also felt the thrill when you found that wagon again. FB/EK Qld are going on a run today to the Tram Museum (Working trams) after lunch. I want to put a new accelerator pump plunger in Fi's car this morning. Her car still goes like a Ferarri compared to mine at this stage, so mine can stay at home. Cheers mate. All you guys and girls, have a good day.
Tony.
Dave (bootlegger) Pagano did a good job on Stewart's Wagon (although even Dave said that he pushed Stewart to breaking point!! )...I can't wait to see it on the road.
The reason Fi's EK goes like a Ferrari is because it's probably the most expensive Grey motor you both own!! Remember I had to falk out $1500 (in 1999 dollars ) for that particular re-built Grey...and it's proved to be worth every cent.

Nice to see some up-dated shots..(Thank's Timbo ) I would have gotten rid of the special badges and kept the 'Stars"...but that's just me.
Looking more & more like a "Tony Special Vehicle" now...I love it!
Scotty.

It looks like I have been very BOLD shaving all those letters and stars, welding up the holes and painting etc. but aha! its just an illusion at the moment, concocted with duct tape on the inside and a bit of Pyramid Corral on the outside (Closet restorers like me have trouble actually welding up holes where trim was!) When I get the look I want, I'll lock it in and get out the MIG. Until then I'll just play. Thanks for the Cyber Lowering Blocks and cut coils Scotty. I can't do that with this wheel and tyre combo as the rear guards will eat the tyres.
It just looks so much better sitting down like that. Fi and I are leaving for the Blue Mtns. in the morning in VR wagon to pick up Tank Fairlane stuff (I hope!) and other assorted items. See you soon Pete SpaceAce. Thanks guys!
Tony.
Tony's little FB is a ripper...
I can say this as I have seen it with my own four eyes. ( I wear glasses )
A big thanks to you Queensland folk for a fun weekend..(photo's to come later in the week when I get home..I'm at Pete (Space Ace)'s place at the 'mo).
Scotty.

Looks like the bonnet bird has sprouted wings and departed and the guard stars as well
