A couple of more cars.

Bugger, I missed looking at the HR wagon. It had a lot of interest over the day.

A huge day made easier by the members who stepped up to help. Be this on the gate or in the BBQ area.

Hi
Today we had a photo session at one of our All Holden Day sponsors, St Francis Winery at Old Reynella.
They asked if we could have a couple of cars to photograph for their website.

Great cruise through the southern hills with cool cars.

I did actually read the workshop manual before starting although as male, is seemed a waste of time, as we know how to do stuff, even if we have done it before.
I will do the U Tube Rare Spare today as it will 43C in Adelaide so no shed time.

Started on the fitting the front windscreen now that I have purchased new glass.
Pulled, pushed, said a few naughty words and got the new rubber fitted. Now for the trim
Had go yesterday and succeeded in only pulling the rubber half way off with a small section of the corner trim slid in.
