The new mini engine has been delivered to Bathurst, awaiting install. I need to go through the old engine and take some of the bits off and paint them up. Time has been rather short lately, and weekends are pretty busy for the foreseeable future. The weekend just been was a pop culture festival...

Congrats on the Stihl win! 🥳

Well it was a big weekend for a few reasons up our way. First of all the mini engine is finally built! It's been a long drawn out saga that's probably taken around 4 years to get to this point. The abbreviated version is the first builder took on too many jobs, got hit by a bunch of bad health...

Sounds like an awesome trip Geoff, look forward to seeing your pics when you're back.

Cheers guys. The Jeep certainly got a lot of potential to be something very cool when its done. A lot of nothing particularly noteworthy for a while around our place. The other weekend was the Sydney 4WD show, so we went along to that which was interesting to see what camping gear and whatever...

Some great looking Fords, thanks for taking the time to share the pics. What would have been your pick to take home yourself? That black Galaxie would be mine, that's all kinds of gorgeous.

Lots of work and thought behind it all as always. I dont comment on every post, but enjoy you sharing your progress. Asphalt driveway looks great!

You're assuming Geoff wasn't flying the plane... :ROFLMAO:

Ah, just had a look and looks like it's changed since I last used it last year. There used to be a free online option, where you could save multiple projects. The online version was far more limited in terms of options like furniture you could put in, pallets of building materials etc. - but for...

This weekend's working bee was relocating an old Jeep. It's a Jeep Gladiator from the early 70s running a 302 Windsor. When I say running, its not running at all and needs a fair bit of love and some rust work. A mate tried selling it and got sick of dealing with idiots, so was just happy to...

Hi Lyndon, congrats on the green light for the new house. That's hugely exciting. Plan (and garage space) looks great, and really love the north facing living space and master bedroom. As far as garage layouts, I've played online with 'sweet home 3D', I was able to draw up the garden shed and...

Good to see you back Terrick. That sounds like a pretty rough trot to get through, glad to hear you're on the better side of those odds. The truck looks awesome and house progress is great too.

Sounds like some long days and weeks ahead, but good to know there's an end in sight to it all (albeit over a massive hill). Hope it goes well for you.

Geoff those are some beautiful old Falcons (yes not your actual cars, but I bet you kept them looking that clean all the time). Yes, no one would have foreseen the current values of the cars these days, particularly the GTs. Less so XD wagons :ROFLMAO: (too soon?). I can see how that was the...

The closest I ever got to an XY GT (or any muscle car) was a 6 cylinder XY wagon with dodgey paint and cracked dash :ROFLMAO:
