A shall we say, enthusiest, has just bought this wonderful car to Sydney. I had the pleasure to go over it the other night. They've said I can post a few pickies up, but most of you have seen this from its infancy.

Lovely bit of kit Al. Great job. It's going to cruise nicely with us in Sydney. We'll make sure the bastard looks after it.

some one who, out of the blue, bumped the thread on the build of the car, was looking for porsche wheels lately, recently asked dasdubber if he should bring a carton up to qld, just sold a particular stroker motor (maybe the extra power was too much😀) and if the notch was taking up the driveway space for this piece of art............must not have bought the tarp yet🙄

New Clue ~ Shed ,bugger me he must have the Tardis (Doc Who) to fit all those 76's and this new toy too.
Mind you though if he keeps bang'n those hill climbers around he'll soon create some more room.

I had to tow it as the motor was sold and removed whilst it was still in QLD.
A big thankyou to Alan(Dasdubber)and his wife for their generosity in allowing me to store the car at their place for 2 weeks as well as helping to remove the motor, oh and letting me stay for the night :thumb........supplying Jim beam and coke's !!!

As for the Ford................well I'm a sucker for cruise and climate control !!!

No probs Craig - happy to have you up here. Also happy to see the rag go from a good home (Damo's in noosa) to another good home a little further south! Also nice to hear your wife was actually happy to see another veedub enter the driveway for a change!

I then stopped at Stan Pobjoy's on the way home to "fit up" the new 1916cc powerplant.
The motor is one of Stans standard spec (base) 1916, fitted with the twin Del's and stainless steel merged exhaust. :thumb

Love the removable rear apron !!

Did most of the work at Stans on Saturday night, then I finished the fuel lines/electrics etc when I arrived back home in Syd.
