stored for probably 2 weeks.

Chris, I have a car with tow bar if needed.
hey chris, i know it's a few hours away but i am in sydney so if need be and you can get it this far, i have plenty of room that is secure to leave it. sorry i can't help any more.
I'm getting it towed to Spooks place... eventually. Picture the phone conversation with the tow service. I have a kombi to tow from Beresfield to
Adamstown. I wont be there to sign the authorisation. I dont know the guy who I am towing it to, other than over the internet. I cant pay in person
cos I am in Wollongong and nobody has credit card facilities. Sounds a bit dodgy. But I will try to send money and photocopy of ID and see how I go. I
just hope that the servo doesnt get it towed away.
From there I dont know exactly the road to take. Will try to put a dodgy engine together I guess, see if I can get it up there, do a swap, and maybe
make it back.
Chris I hope it all works out in the end
What an ordeal!!!
Missed this thread earlier in day and had been wondering how you got on
Great support from the AussieVeeDubbers again

Chris, after 6500ks at 80kmh spent in terror of ever present threat of final engine termination I really feel for you, all I can offer is a was going 1800 now minus heads barrels etc If it would at all help in your rebuild
Are you not a member of the NRMA, its times like these that they can help, towing etc.
o yeah, deans clutch basically died when he got home...........just made it !
Keep us updated bud !
Relax Chris, your truck will be here by this arvo. It won't be in my way so you can worry about it at your leisure.....
Which is, of course, the up side of "knowing " people on the internet.

Hope all works out all right for the Kombi Chris:jesus
Ok, pictures of the ordeal...... 
First sign of major trouble was a Kempsey on the way up....
Our campsite was rather busy, with Chris rebuilding his engine....
Dean fixing a dead regulator (for the 2nd time!)
and me rebuilding a distributor (thanks Boris)
Lots of helpers
Out at last (that was the easy bit)
People gather for the impending post mortem....
- I am glad you got home OK
