Looks like you're a happy man now it's there anyways, although the story of the trip does sound like something my 4 year old might have come up with to explain why she'd taken a few weeks to deliver something.
Has the boss given you permission to play with it, or does the Series II need to be finished first?
Is that a MkI Golf in the background? I remember spending several days welding the front end of a GTi a few years back.
Spent as much time scraping underseal off it.
Das, its a bit like that... I've got the wife's truck to the chassis painting stage now, so the next few weeks are up to her there!! Good pickup re the Golf... It's a Mk 2 GTD with a Tdi implant.... It came with us in the container! Had it for years and thought why sell something that's so reliable and surprisingly fast! In daily use now until the 101 has rego... which could be a while!! :D
You also need to install a reversing light before rego.
The offer's still there ;).
Hey Mick, We temporarily set it up for camping and have been on a few big trips Mungo, Innamincka, Frazer Island and local camping..Quote:

However, Time is becoming more available and we have plans for a new hard top in the near future. Its is playing up with running too hot at the moment.. so the plan is I'll get that sorted, then a camp or two ... then the hardtop! :)

I have been looking for information without a lot of luck, about an ancestor called Robert Orr, who emigrated to Tasmania in the mid 1800's, it was always said in our family, that he was a Ranger and worked as a constable in the Highlands of Tasmania.
Orr is a popular surname in Scotland and Ireland, much like the surname Smith or Johnston is found in present day Tasmania, with the name William Orr constantly being used in the Orr family and many Roberts', this gave many false leads, so I can now follow up the idea that he was a Ranger in the Irish Military.

Here's a hard top pic for you MudSkull... It's one I built about 10 yrs ago in the UK. Might be building another soon here.... but skinned in Alli not steel. (Although it rode well). Glad that logo was of assistance for you Arthur. It's one of the reasons I bought it... as I was born in Ireland!
You trying to swap your 90 for a 101???Quote:
