Hi Harko
Well now I know why you have been off all the other projects. Great work and all done and on show in 9 months.
Forgiveness is easier than permission.

Congrats Harko!
and who said it was impossible to go from scratch to show stopper in less than a year!
you  might have to take 57bus's lead and look at a microbus at this rate???
Congrats to the whole Harko (ever expanding) family.
now all we need is a name?

Hey Harko

Congratulations on the new addition, is he giving a high five in there?  With the rapidly expanding team of lads, is this a cunning plan to keep labour costs down for all your future projects? ;D ;D ;D

Congrats to you both looks like a very long project.

Good on you, Harko and Jayne.  Does the little fella have a name?

You're right about it being a life-long project.  They start a bit fumey, with a few leaks and they're not all that reliable (especially at night), but the potential is enormous.

Of course, at some point in the not too distant future, your older one will decide to turn this one into a couch ;D  And not long after that it will be the other way around... ;D

Best wishes to all.

Hey Harko congratulations....

Give it a couple of weeks though and you will have LOWERED his ears, by CHOPPING the top, bet you already have a new set of RUBBER for him and definately not sure what TRIM to put on him each day. Add oil and some degrease regularly constant wipe downs and the trophies will come...

Congrats again,

Cheers

Now that's some deep pile carpet on top of your project there Harko !

My latest project...a "Riley" which I picked up 6 months ago would be envious.  

Congratualtions to you and your wife.

57bus

Congratulations.
The seeds of my next project have just been sown, sorry for the awful puns,
Expecting our second in August.

Got to get a wagon before that or I'll never get one!!!!
Cheers
Dave

Blown_FC

C'mon Dave....don't you know.......It's because you have a little one arriving in August, that you need a wagon !


57bus

You are not going to believe this but thats how I am convincing the missus to let me get a wagon.

I used the same excuse to get the kombi, but after it taking 3 and a half years to do, she is a bit sussed this time,
She's now giving me the "you can only have one toy" bull.

I am seriously thinking of selling the kombi to get a wagon, but we are about to move house so I will wait a few months first, got to find a new house with a decent shed, cant believe we are selling as I had a 30 foot x 20 foot shed put up 1 month ago.

Cheers
Dave

Blown_FC

Dave Dave Dave....alas my friend....we have lots to learn !

"Fair enough my love.....but I need a good  FC Wagon to drive the 'growing' family around in , so as to avoid stacking on the k's on the Kombi, so I can get a better price when I sell the Kombi and therefore giving me just the one toy"

Hows does that one sound Dave ?

PS....once the deal is done, the Kombi may just take (forever) to sell....not your fault.......you are trying everything you can to sell it....but the market place just isn;t  ready yet !


LOL



HARKO

Awesome comments guys lol ,His name is Boden John Harkness AKA Bo ! ,His name takes in a few of the family members names so it was a pretty good decision .
Jayne/Mums doing well but she doesnt have much to complain about ,2 1/2 hour labour, 9 pound 4.5 ounces - we build em big lol ,The poor woman yesterday morning looked dead set like she was hiding a beach ball.

Thanks again guys for all the warm comments its very much appreciated ,and oh yeah he was born with a silver spanner in his mouth so labour costs may well drop in the futre .
Dave Ive been whacking on the plan of "assing my monaro down to him so we'd better keep it"and I found the best time to enforce it was when wifee was buckled over in agony handling a contraction hehe.

Good news Harko, all the best to you & the Mrs.
