PS - In other news...
I picked up a heap of miscellaneous parts on Saturday from justincase.
I haven't had a chance to go through it all to see what I have but there is a few goodies in there which will be Gus-bound if required. :)
Theres plenty of other stuff in there too so I will share it around if I see someone in need. ;)
Gus will soon have an engine! ;)
Thanks to JDNSW for offering one to me for a very reasonable price, but one has come up recently in a more accessible location and in known condition. :) Hang onto it though mate - I may need it yet... next project is already being scouted out! :angel: (don't tell my mrs! :o)
More info when the engine is picked up. ;)
Reading this has given me new hope for 'bob', my '59 GS :D
I haven't touched him for 6 months, but I reckon I need to get back into it soon.
Cheers
Is bob a GS or a Command Recon? :)
Yep - get back into it - and show us pics! :D
Glad you enjoyed the read. :)
G'day All, IIRC it's a C/R from Glouscester cheers Dennis:angel:
Thanks Dennis.
I was up at the Tocal Field Days on Saturday - was going to come via the 'nock and see if you were in but had to get back to Sydney...

G'day All, Andrew I was at work in Maitland approx 15 minutes from Tocal LOL cheers Dennis:angel:
ps Bolwarra 2 B precise, you would have been only 100 meters from where I was LOL:angel:
Bloody oath? Scary! :o
On Saturday I went out to Lou (Dullbird) and Ian (Muddymech)s house to pick up Gus' new engine! Mark (longing4alandy) kindly came out to lend a hand too. :D
The donor car was a Home Market (ie: UK - not AU CKD) wide light 2A shorty which they had obtained to provide some bits and bobs for their 2A Ute. :) The Ute has a *very* nice motor in it, so they kindly let me have the engine for little more than a contribution towards the car trailer used to collect the shorty. Thanks guys! :D
The motor came out quite easily - the hardest part was (predictably) getting the blasted floor panels out! Grinder time... :twisted:
Once we had it out it was loaded into the trailer and headed home. I was intending to take it up to the farm next weekend, but have had a change of heart and offloaded it at home in the garage instead. I will clean it up and give it a good check over first, and maybe give it a coat of paint before it meets Gus. :)
Can't do pics from work, unless I work out how to use AULRO galleries... I can't do photobucket from work. :(
