A legend comes to Sydney
squizy - August 2nd, 2007 at 10:48 PM
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.

Yeah, it cruises along okay...!
squizy - August 2nd, 2007 at 11:55 PM
Ah so it runs now? Wahoo....!

somebody who wears jeans? 
ang3lsholocaust - August 3rd, 2007 at 05:15 PM
My guess is it now belongs to a certain hill climber down that way
bat69 - August 3rd, 2007 at 07:20 PM
I think that drieway looks familiar?
napat - August 4th, 2007 at 08:57 PM
I wish I could come :-)
vw54 - August 6th, 2007 at 11:42 AM
and the answer is ???
hellbugged - August 6th, 2007 at 01:24 PM
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
OZ Towdster - August 6th, 2007 at 08:49 PM
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.
hehehhehhehehehe

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 !!!
Dasdubber - August 10th, 2007 at 10:18 PM
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!
Alan
Craig Torrens - August 10th, 2007 at 10:24 PM
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.
