Thanks for the kind words guys.
I've had her for a year now and I'm pretty happy with the way she's been getting me around and I've fixed all the bugs in the engine, rear axle
and steering etc. So now I'm gonna move onto the body.
I've actually just scored myself an apprenticeship as a panel beater, (I start monday) so hopefully I'll pick up some skills quickly and do a bit
myself soon! There's a fair bit of rust in the bottom of the nose and top of the windshield area. I'll probably have to replace the battery trays in
both sides and the rear corners as well. I want to return her to the original colour, Delta Green, that's the colour you can see I chipped away on
the front panel under the badge. Interior is going to be a couple shades of grey vinyl like the original door cards and seats. I've got a jail bar
set for the rear window on it's way in the mail.
I'm contemplating removing the pop-top and replacing the roof to make way for a nice grey headliner and large roof rack on top. What do you think?
Cheers,
Zach.

Naaaah....I'd leave the poiptop on....have heard that it isnt such a piece of cake to replace certain poptops with metal roofs... something to do
wioth warpage and such I think.
Besides... campers is the ducks nuts!...  ... ewspecially early bay
campers! 
She's lookin good by the way... that chrome badge makes alll the difference! hehe :bounce

hehe, i know what you mean.. I've been studying statistical regression the last week, another day and I think I'll go insane 
it's been pretty cold down here too. I got up at 7 to go uni last week and there was ice on the windscreen. That's just not supposed to happen down
here :duh
and don't worry, families are always a bit fruity but they're good fun

one drilled hole is all u need before its lost its originality Hehe.

sense....

Mildred is coming along slowly!
The fibreglasser tooks his sweet time, but at least he did a good job of it! Cant say so much about the Tow Truck Driver that picked her up from the
fibreglassers for me 
He picked her up to bring her back to the panel shop, but of course did a half arsed job of strapping her down on the tilt tray. He had to slam on his
brakes, and Mildred went smashing into the back of the cab! :cussing
He did some damage to her front end, and now im delayed once again with waiting on parts to fix her up again (which of course in a few selected words
i informed him of how much he would be paying for it all).
It just gets better and better for me! They say good things come to those who wait, but this is getting rediculous!
Stay tuned for the next installment on The sagas of "Ash and Mildred"
