Don't give up your day job Greg.

Congrats. Very worthy.

Ha, I should have known. I know where John got his FoMoCo blood from. His late Dad Jim was around at the very beginning of drag racing in Australia, in a Ford of course.

I did most of this post somewhere over the Pacific on our way to Canada as i didn't get around to it before we left home. We are currently getting over jet lag in Vancouver. So in the previous post I was pretty much all set to hold my breath and drill some big holes in my car as soon as I had...

Registration check says it a '64 Ranchero but yeah, that nose is from something else. Plate suggests its packing a 429 big block which it also didn't have when it rolled out of the factory. I want it.

If you're not parking daily drivers in there you'll be fine. My main problem is wet tyres and wet and dirty cars dripping on it. The main reason I got the floor coated was so that any oil spills and other automotive liquids can be just wiped up rather than soaking into bare concrete. It fulfils...

Now you just gotta keep it looking that good. I haven't.

Very disappointing for you. The market must have either changed or is different over there. There has been no chance of buying subject to a sale or even finance over here for a couple of decades. Anyway, I'm sure something else that suits you will turn up in due course.

I may have related this on my own thread in the past but will clog yours up with it anyway. I was once waved into a booze bus in the left hook car. When I got to the front of the queue the young female constable (they're often fresh out of the academy when they get this duty) just stood at the...

I thought I heard a loud sigh of relief from north of the Murray. Good job.

Lots of decisions to make, aren't there? Your carpet choice looks very similar to what we went with in the bedrooms and study. Different brand but also 100% wool. I'm advised we remain pleased with it...

Good to have you back. Both those projects look great.

I found my right angle drill attachment but now find my step drill doesn't fit it as the attachment needs a hex on the drill shank so I'll be off to Total Tools in due course. Pending that, I've got the paper template in place. The first couple of goes weren't successful as the paper was too...

I made a little bit more progress with the air con project today. That said, its going slower than I hoped both because I've had less time to devote to it than expected and it turning out to be trickier than I thought. With our upcoming overseas trip I now doubt I'll have it all done before the...

Good luck with the new digs.
