Looking forward to you getting back into it. Hope the move is as stress free as possible and that all goes well.

QuoteThe Trumpy looks great not sure of the model standing with it though

Do you think I should have worn some budgie smugglers instead :P :P ;D ;D

Thanks for your thoughts folks, I've been thinking of buying a Trumpy for a while now but couldn't make up my mind as to which one, I didn't even know they came in this colour scheme until a few weeks ago but as soon as I saw it I fell in love with it and had to have it, especially as it's the same colours as my wagon is going to be, if any of you are passing through this way I'll be happy to meet you, just send me a pm and I will give you my ph no., I don't get as much time on here at the moment as we are staying with our daughter and between 4 adults and 2 kids it's a battle to get on the computer, lucky I didn't move to Boonah a few years ago Zulu I might have beaten you to the ambulance ;), I've asked around about any other FE/FC's but it looks like the area has been pretty well picked clean already.

G'day all, just a quick post for now, it's taken a dose of the flu to slow me down on the reno long enough to get on the computer, the place is coming together nicely now I've finished the bedroom end of the house and almost done the lounge, dining and entrance, just the bathrooms and kitchen to go, the wagon is here now my mate Johhny and I did a round trip and picked her up a couple of weeks ago, I'm going to send her in shortly to get the paint finished as I've come to the conclusion I'm never going to get the panels straight enough to satisfy me, I don't want to be looking at it forever more wishing I'd done a better job.

Kathi, are you sure it's really Pedro? (it's no good asking for photographic evidence - I've forgotten what he looks like...  ;))

G'day Pete, Mark, Kathi, Jack & Dean, of course it's me, who else would be mad enough to be trying to restore a car while, moving house, renovating, going to work and looking after a sick wife ;), actually we just got back from Mezzas radiation treatment in Brissie and everything is going fine except that she now has the flu too, i'll whack up a couple of pics of the reno later if anyone is interested, right now I have 254 pm's to read through

Quotewhat diff are you using?

It's the Commodore one that I cut down ED, with Petes extra heavy duty 1" lowered saddles and the springs lowered by 1", It's probably a little lower than it will eventually be as it was loaded with parts for the move but that is the look I'm aiming for.

How's the ute coming along Wayne, it must be nice being up in the Isa at this time of year, It's bloody freezing down here in Boonah, -1 last night.

QuotePerhaps you could join a "reno" forum as well

No, this is my third and final reno(famous last words ::)),after the last move we are planning on staying put here now.

QuoteBeen more than 6 months Pedro... Where are you???

Still here working on the house ::), I'm half way through the kitchen now and only the bathrooms to go, they won't take as long as I'm only changing one of them structurally to make it bigger, then it's only a matter of gyprocking, tiles, painting and fitting showers toilets etc.
Mez is doing well she has finished her treatment and has been given the all clear, hopefully she will be right from now on as it wasn't hereditary.

I know it's not FC related but here's a few pics of some of what I've done so far

Hey pedster, I'm glad mez is feeling better. The reno is looking good. I'll post up some pics of the chook house me and my boys made shortly. It's good to see that you are back on here. We got one of those goanna things for the wall. They look shit hot.
