Yeah - got a bit done this weekend seeing as both days were originally going to be club runs but they got canned at the last minute - so spent some shed time knocking off odd jobs :ebiggrin:
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

I thought you ran shiny Tasmans? Are you planning on fitting a WW2 gas producer for the Nats?
A day in the shed beats a day at work!

No - not a peep out of them , we might need to arrange our own - there's no shortage of awesome roads and little towns in Northern NSW to visit 8)

I have always had a couple of sets of different wheels just to give my cars a bit of a change up every now and then, these rims were on it before the Tasmans went on and they were painted white - will be body colour this time. When I first got it on the road it had chromies on it.

Hoping I don't need a gas producer, :cry: maybe I should fit a towbar so if it catches fire it wont incinerate the ute :lol:

we had an awesome drive from Armadale to Dorrigo, down to your neck of the woods then up to Ballina, then through Mooball to Murwullimbah and up into the bush to some tiny little joint on the border and up around behind a big lake to the Gold Coast on the way to Toowoomba a few years back - I will knock up an itinerary for an afterparty no trouble :ebiggrin: :thumbsup: 8)

ok looked at your thing Dorigo down or up currently sucks arse avoid that if possible back road that goes from say Grafton to Warwick in QLD is good and very bad in places if you're going on any of those roads
