Thread: "Sophia"

i was expecting it to have had more interest then what it did, but he said there was a guy from qld that was checking to see how much it would cost to get a courier

took it for a drive yesterday, i had to bypass the fuel using a hose nd a jerry can. water is leaking from somewhere(one of the hoses), the water got hot so i am hoping everything is working properly, as i didnt want to overheat the wee girl. I only used 2nd gear low, i got it into all gears except first. it has no brakes except for the handbrake. Going up hills it needed abit of choke. But besides that it was ok, Oh and i had no seat.
This was my first drive of an 80inch

took the very heavy home made canopy off yesterday by myself which was quite painful. the 4 bolts that hold it down were so rusted I had to grind the buggers off, many swear words were said.
before

I had to roll it back then start lifting it so I could roll it forward to drop it on the ground, you could only do this on an 80'


and now what is sitting on it

She looks a lot better with her top off. Great find and rescue.

It looks a lot better, I quite like the ute cab in these little guys.
I am looking forward to getting stuck into her one day.
I think I will repaint it fire engine red.

I had to move land rovers around today, A bit nervous to see how the it went as I have only driven it once before and I must it got there, only had to travel about 100m but it is really hard driving without seats. I wish I got a photo of it driving over the bumps but when I pulled up there was water dripping so I dont think I will drive it again

It looks much better with the truck cab doesn't she

Mrs hh

It does I cant wait to get stuck into this one, unfortunately I dont think it will be for at least another 5 years
