Thanks for all the kind words, I spoke to Darren today, he is the son of the farmer I got it from, I sent him a few pictures yesterday and he was rapt that is going again, and he’s going around to his Dads place tonight to show him. He said the last time it was going he was about 5, his dad parked it in the paddock and over the years parts just kept getting taken off of it, Darren is now 45.

Traveling, then 7 years living in a van. I was creeping now and then. Back into a house and been looking for a bus for a while so trying to get myself motivated more by being here


Would love to be there for that conversation “yeah dad that old ute shell, I seen it, it’s been restored. It’s driving and everything”

sees pic “well it looks a little different. what colour is he painting it? Will look good when it’s finished” 😬
