V8 county ute
Nah, only joking re the 6wd.
New house purchase,so loading up new diff and spares in the tray and drive to the new place once I get my new radiator from Aussie Desert Coolers, should be early this week.
The ute project has taken a back seat lately as other things have taken priority.
But the good news is the new place has 3000 m2 of flat land , with about 80m2 of it screaming at me to put a shed on it.
Unlike the beautiful but steep country we are in now.
