Had to get this painted fast as I needed it for work doing about 250 ks a day which the big six laps up. Just a tad thirsty glad the boss gave me a fuel card :lol:

That is the very model I have got and I'm going to start work on it in 2012. I'll be in WA in January and I'd love to have a look at it you wouldn't mind. Mine is still painted Ozzie Post colours, and is not running

Thanks Pipeforce - I'll do that - you've certainly made a beauty out of a tatty looking Trannie - I hope I can do the same for its twin
