How come it's not safely tucked away in the garage, instead of left out in the driveway?:twisted:

cheers

I don't know wether I will be able to buff it up, Ho. The Graffiti is proving to be very very stubborn so it may just have to cop a paint job and be done with it. :(

I'm working on digging out those crosses! The gurney did a little bit - the rest might have to be a job for the ol' wet and dry. ;)

There was a nasty breeze coming back from Dinty's this arvo. :o It was shoving me all over the shop! :eek:

I will check for leaves tonight when I go out to put his new headlight globe in. ;)



PS - I think it is high time I start a project thread in the REMLR Projects section. I will post a linky here so all can find it. :)

G'day All, Good to hear that you made it home again in 1 piece;), Ambrose had been hiding a little secret for years, he had a formation sign in the holder lhs rear:o Shonky says:cool::cool:, no-one had noticed it for all those years anyway mate cheers Dennis:angel:

Indeed! :D

You'll have to remind me what the crossed swords under a number two actually means though mate, I have a memory like a seive... :(

I'll put pics up in the new thread. ;)

crossed swords and a 2 is 2nd division ;)

hang on, crossed swords and a 2 or a 3? Was in in roman numberals or digits?

Swords or bayonets? (or a photo)

Will post a pic when I get home, but I am sure they were swords not bayonets, and the number was definately a '2' in digits not roman numerals.

I'll drag out the pic of the original for you then ;)

EDITED:

I will repost this in my project thread which is up and running here: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/remlr-proj...ambulance.html

Head over and have a look-see. :)
