He is willing to put a comfy chair on the radar plinth to act as a crows nest,plus the Lucas sealed beam headlights have been changed to Xenon lights and as a sweetner a new multi tone horn has been fitted.

so what do you the crew think ?,

ps, the Ho Har is coming up for it's sea worthiness test and the rust around the rear wheel arches may cause a failiure and great expence .

How will the big hair-dryer handle the blue?

Austral Tourmaster, 6-92T 7 sp Spicer $25,000 (my favoured option)
Leyland Super Viking, "B" Series 5.6 Cummins Allison auto $5,000. Gives me $20,000 extra for the conversion, but may be a bit slow.

yes Jono the 4x4 track will be swopped at Ronnies expence a fully equiped micro brewery with be in the foward galley,Ian the apron has been upgraded to redial ply from cross ply so ocean surfing wouldn't be problem

what year and how many K's has the Tourmaster covered Ian

any one know where i put the tv remote i've lost it again

and ian i'd go for the 5g one if it runs smothly you can always get more power from the cummins motor

yes Deano the bar is built into the seat base,Vixen the St Christopher is equiped with 6 mobile toilets which are remote controled from various p+p stations around the vessel there is even an elevated basket for Phang on the bridge complete with bone rest.

I've got Bill at Micron to make some 6into2into1 exhaust headers for each of the four engines so it'll sound like a Spitfire MK 19 with adjustable baffles for silent saling when needed.
