Looks more like a Country Buggy... :lol: :lol:

Went for a spin yesterday with Wiz in his new Wizmobile and it runs really good for a bitsa. Brother should be very pleased when he finally gets his hands on it. Well done mate - keeping the dream alive.

Not joking mate, you sold me a great 61 ute and I have found a back of a dual cab cabin, how hard can it be?

Brother turned up this week and we finished up the smaller details, fitted some safari windows and another engine, going to freight it to him next week. Ian

Yeah thanks Steve, total opposite to me, he still has his hair, eats well and genuinely likes people. Funny thing when he was here was he asked where the spare tyre was and why the safari's leak, and the drum brakes dont pull up that well, looked suprised when I couldn't stop laughing. Ian

Dropped the Ute at the Transport Depot to go to Qld, Joe inspected the ute, clearly not a fan of the Rat Look , and check out the general condition

You know how "dogs look like their owners" well, I was wondering.... :lol:

Whatever the inspector's tastes, I like it.
