She made the trip across Australia drama free. Thanks to all that offered advice and their experiences, I defiantly think that the prep work put in made the drive a lot less stressful :thumbsup:

Got a few pics from the drive that I will post up shortly. Stay tuned! 8)

D-man, sorry for the slow reply, they are called cruisin skirts.

Good stuff, looks like the ol girl did you proud. All the prep work sure did pay off. But then again they are meant for driving!

Thanks mate, the photos made it look abit better when I first got it. I do have plans to do a full nut and bolt rebuild, but it's just too much fun driving it, I can't bring myself to pull it off the road.

Cheers mate - how's that wagon going? Chuck up a build thread.
