You read my mind,i was sitting in it about 1 hour ago thinking the same thing,leave as is, big engine and cruise.

Have a friend for rego,i wouldn,t think moss would get a nock back,even the factory moss tint on the back window would work i reckon.

And hear is some pictures of something i hold special to me,this was made for the adventure thread,the picture was in earlier posts,the detail is excellent,pottery is a very slow process with the different stages with the colours,i could not imagines the hours involved.

Thanks very much,and if anyone wants that special gift personally made for them this is a must i think.

You can just see the southern cross inside the mug,the flash has washed out the colour unfortunatly.

Hi dane,

Yeah still looking,and the missus has been very good,there is more yet to be uploaded,the place is overflowing,finally got my favorite old holden to resto,will show pics on the moree trip,its a great score.

Problem with them out the front yard,is all the would beez pulling up,they prolley think i,m a hoarder,and usually these type of people want everything for nothing,they have no idea of the time and effort involved in finding and retreiving these cars ,luckly i have Good contacts, the parts go to good homes and into resto,s,not into dreamers hands.

Love this thread, i'm very envious of you. For me to be able to travel the countryside to find & view these old classics, let alone rescue them from neglect & decay, would be like letting a child loose in a toy store. Your pics bring back fond memories of my childhood exploring my uncle's farm & surrounding area near Ballina, finding old cars & imagining rescuing them & bringing them back to their former glory. I look forward to every new post you make & please keep the pics coming.

fanks bud,

Your comments make me feel good,in the way that others enjoy what i do for a hobby.I,ve got a pile of pics to come,i,m a bit worried, that the adventures may dry up,my yard is out of control,i may have to think about going upward,the missus never said anything about that hehehe.got a huge pile of 5mm thick, 7.5meter long, 200high C perlins,and i,ve got a 3.5 tonner deseil forklift no one wanted.

Last weekend a dude that i know said he has a 1974 honda 750 3 cylinder 2 stroke, oridginal bike in his shed,a guy from tamworth that runs a bike shop, said he was interested,thought i might take a look,he was talking 3 to 3 and a half,maybe someone here may like a look, so i,ll take a cruise out the road soon.

Had a big weekend cutting rust out of my new old holden,weeeeeee,heaps of fun.

The drivers side mirror looks like a Nasco option.

It would be worth a bob or two me thinks.

1 Cab is a GMC which i thought was different,the badge looked cool on the front of the bonnet,it was the white one, and the others are chev,the front panels were in the shed pictures.He was talking $500 AND $800 For the Fraud.If your intersted i,ll share his number,he is a good friend.

Don,t know a price Jacob.
