Great to see a Ser3 specific home.
Ive had 3 Ser2As and at the moment own 3 Ser3s and ,2 of which are Stage 1 V8s,I also had a daily driver Ser3 I sold when I bought the D2.All the others are project or something vehicles,the non Stage1 has a Ford 302/C4 auto conversion and 6" lift all my own doing but too hard to get rego for.
Learnt alot from owning these series beasties over the years!!!

Tony, great looking SIII tray. It's a credit to your efforts. I like the tray Landys.
If we're putting up pic's, here is my bitsa.
Yes, it's crappy and I bought it that way. I like it that way and it impresses a few people when I overtake them on the freeway. They can't understand how such a heap of **** can be so quick. (I do not speed, nor do I condone speeding. I encourage safe and responsible driving at all times.)
24551
I had to replace the wood in the tray a few months ago. The rear mudguards are bolted through the wooden tray. One fell off.
24552
When I bought it, the owner told me most of it was around 200,000km old. In the following 200,000km of using it as a daily driver (around 180km/day), it was reasonably reliable. I neglected it for eight years (it was in storage) and have recently rebuilt the motor. I'm gradually giving it the bit of TLC it deserves.

You want to see a good vehicle?? Look in your carport. Looks much nicer, cleaner, straighter.
Am I wrong but did you do yours up? I'd be interested in a before pic.

Nice one Banjo. The white wheels and white roof really sets it off. Does it look sexy or is it just the red underwear?
All you need now is boingy boingys.

I might be heading up to Canberra next month. Either way, I need to get some stuff from 101Ron at a date in the near future. I'm sure something can be arranged for transport.

Bell Post Hill. I'm not that far from there. They tell me there's a good trailer manufacturers in Bell Post Hill.

Get them made then work out delivery.

I just need to workout a way to weld some brackets to the sliders that can be bolted to the chassis instead of welded like mine ..
They would come in at about $250 to $275 ish a pair though supplied with bolts ( hightensile )..& painted with rust paint (black).& non slip tape which is good as mine hasn't moved & if you slide out the car & rub your leg on it , it takes a bit of skin...

Banjo,
Have Dolphint and Matbor confirmed they want the sliders and when do you think they will be available?
I'm just trying to plan the Canberra road trip.
So many things to do, so little time to do it.........
