If you weren.t so far away those original wheels I would put my hand up for


Tim

lol I didn't even realise they were anything special apart from being split rims, what do you think they would be worth with out the rubber on em Tim? Any extra cash I can make off the left overs will come in handy, just sold the gear knobs to someone who was excited to find a set in good cond lol

Well the weather is at a nice cool temp for the rest of the week might just go over to the farm tomorrow and pick up were i left off, wanna get the oil and filter changes done, flush and coolant change and have a go at the master clutch cylinder myself (got sick of waiting for the hubbys help, so I will do it my self lol) and He is getting his new toy this week (Quintrex boat with all the bells and whistles) so my little troll will be not on his mind at the min Well maybe since he is spending so much money on a boat he can splash out and buy me a couple of batterys Haha

[Michelle]

Well been at the farm since wednsday arvo, and chucked some batterys in and canged oil, filters, fulshed radiator and new coolant, Fitted new master cluch cylinder (under the supervision of my brother) and went for a drive clutch prob now fixed Then I replaced the top tailgate latch (works like a new one Attatched mirror arms and new heads, Pulled off the wheels and wire brushed wheel arches and rims and gave the wheel arches a coat of sealer and the rims a fresh coat of paint, also fixed any rust as I went except for the great big bloody hole in the drivers floor Grrrr.... Cut of the ugly bent up toe bar and finnishe of my touch ups. Piccies to follow
