Damn you guys, now I'm all kinda misty.

Huge thanks to all of you, sorry I had you all so worried, it's the native blood of dear old Granny Phillips, I tend to go walkabout now and then. One day I will even take a map with me eh?

Good news is, you don't get rid of me that easy.
Yep on the Landy, but she's in dry dock again for a new heart transplant.
I think I found a way to fit Holden power rack and pinion steering to her that won't affect her turning angles, more on that later.

I'm doing fine, better than fine actually, met a real good woman (German girl), got married again, even began playing old Jim Reeves and Hank Williams songs on my old guitar again.
Bought a house in Barmera overlooking Lake Bonney, living the good life at last.

Shorty
You have made my day
Many of us had you pegged out in a Landy Graveyard somewhere.
So happy to hear you are still out there.
AWESOME!!!!

Hey Andy, Vlad, DeeJay, thanks guys, good to be back.

Now that I'm settled and got my own shed and all, I'll have that old series of mine back on the road in no time, some time, one day etc. At least now I have a place I can actually work on her without being bothered with "Hey Shorty, can you do such and such for me"
Workshop toolset is just about complete, drills, grinders, welder etc, only need an engine crane now. New engine is touch on the heavy side to lift by self lol.
If anybody knows of a 1 to 2 ton engine hoist going cheap, I'd be interested.

Got me a shiny new 5 burner BBQ on the back patio, big bunch of roo steaks in the freezer and a fridge always stocked with good Coopers Brown Ale, ah, lifes good.
