Ouch . Sounds like it was a bit hit to the floor. Best take it easy so you can get back on the road. Gather your off work for a bit too.

Come to Sydney, that will cure your traffic anxiety anywhere else !

Hope you get back on the road soon and at full speed.

Yes Greg, you can get vaccinated against shingles.

Good work Scott, you gotta love refurbished chrome pieces.

When I did my quarter windows (using Rare Spares seals) I also had a gap at the top, between window & seal. I ended up placing a small washer between frame and metal bracket to close the gap. They seal pretty good now.

That was a great road trip with good economy to boot

Hello

From the picture the main battery cables appear to be affected. The wiring to the passenger headlight & parker/ indicator light looks sound?

From what I can see you just need new earth cable & positive cable to starter motor in addition to three generator cables, assuming you are still ...

Nice work. I recall you had oil pressure issues when you left home with the light being on at idle. How did priming the oil pump all these miles later resolve the issue? So much to learn about these cars / engines on this forum. Thanks

Why can I picture a collection of interstate caravans, tents and swags on your front lawn, all circled around ...

Look forward to the 2027 Nats in S.A
