Thread: Work on the 'ol ute tomorrow

Well I spent the day with my brother taking everything worth having from a donor vehicle (1957 109" 3/4 cab). The car has provided me with a heap of spares and stuff for trade etc so I am very happy. I am left with a holden conversion, radiator and fuel tank to get, but otherwise - we stacked up a trailer and his hilux with parts and headed home








A solid days work - need a beer now..

Ah Troy, U have the bug big time dont you, I must say I am enjoying my time off from the Landys, had an accident last week the missus mopped the floors and I came trotting out in my morning daze and hit the tiles and down I went, did the splits and tore the muscles in my inner thighs, still cant walk much, christ it hurt, then last night I spilt boiling hot water down my front filling a hot water bottle, they are still looking for the bag I cracked the woolies opend the back door and hoyed it, had to revamp my Fairlane the other day the cost of petrol is yuck right now the old girl runs LPG which is still under a dollar, shame to put miles on her she hasnt done many sinch 78, imagine theres a few V8 Landy owners with the craps around the place, give me a buzz on my private email troy mezandy@bigpond.com cheers guys

Email sent fella. Get well hey

That looked like a good find Troy. Pity it's so far away, as I'm after a period tray frame for my 107".

G'day Troy,
when I get back (if your intrested) we can have a light driving day at my mates property in Jindera. A S1 fun day! There is alot of easy driving and I do mean easy. And plenty of photo opps in a rural setting. Also some old machenery to pull if you want. My car trailer is at his place so getting you beast out there should be easy. Jindera is about 15km nth of albury.

Cheers Easo.

P.S. I've started home brewing here.

Easo - home brewing .. way to go mate

The trip off road will be great when you get back. The olute needs a front prop shaft fitted (I have a replacement one of a recent wreck) and I have finally got all of my hoop bows organised for next weekend. The Canvas will go on in the fortnight. A bit to do in the interior [still] and then I just need to get some more bar treads and she'll be right.

I have found 3 SWB early Series 1's to look at this weekend and I am very pleased about that. Stay well.

Well I have the shortened front prop shaft fitted now so I can get 4x4 in olute at last . Steering wheel has been repaired and needs to be sanded back and painted during the week then I expect to be picking up the repaired hoop bows by Friday and the canopy can go on

Have also ordered a pair of those front wing buffers to fit. That will be a few weeks to wait.

So whats next .... I have an indicator unit to fit to the steering column but I reckon a lap around the block is a must

Canvas canopy - on
Steering wheel - painted
Beer in hand and photo to follow
