    Congratulations on making an honest woman out of your partner.

    I drove past you on Friday on my way to the Murray - which apparently had an algal bloom warning issued - guess who new nothing about that and went swimming in the river!

    Oh, and, nice job with the ute.

    Cheers,

    Franz

    Few more pics.

    I have been working on the rope rails lately, oh and fuel fillers. (Sub tank to come.)

    I deciced to make them out of stainlees. When the tray gets painted I will leave the rails unpainted, that way with use there will pe no paint to chip off, and stainless looks sexy.



    The "U" around the fillers is made up of 5 pieces.

    Notching out the pipe.





    More to come....

    Cheers,

    Tim

    Time for another update.

    I have been making up an aluminium sub tank. It should almost double my range.









    I also got the passenger side in etch primer, it has been such a long time coming. It's actually feeling like I'm getting somewere now.





    More to follow as it progresses.


    Cheers,

    Soooo close

    Lots has been going on lately, flat out working in the shed when I'm not doing stuff for the wedding or playing with our new pup Mack. I wasn't allowed Rover, Disco or Landy, so we settled on Mack seeing Dad and I have a few old Mack trucks.

    Here is the Chief rag stealer hard at work!


    Anyway back to the Disco. The body work is almost done!!! If I said I was excited it would be the understatement of the century! By the end of the weekend I am hoping to have only the filler and painting to do.

    All tapped up, just needs a thin smear of filler and its ready to prime.


    Another view.


    This panel was a nightmare to make, it has a complex shape to it. Lots of curves and folds, and because of the shape I couldn't do it in a pan break, so most of it was done by hand.




    This is the last panel just before i welded it in. All done now, I just have to put a small piece in down the bottom of it.




    Chief rag stealer is all worn out, at least he found a good seat.



    If I can get the rest of the body work done this weekend I might see if i can get the engine started, it hasn't been running since about June 2007. With a bit of luck it will fire into life.

    Cheers,
