Wish u success Leon,

Assembling a car is hard after so many years of it being disassembled!!
Cheers

Hey Surferboy
Lake Jindabyne is well known for its big waves when the wind comes up. Additionally, the Lake is well used by water skiiers. May not be the same as the surf but the thrill of skiing across the water should be enough to ease your withdrawal symptoms if you can convince someone to tow you behind their boat.
As the song goes:
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' Jin da byne
Cheers
Kathy

G'day Surferboy Some of the Qld'ers also mentioned the snow - everyone is gunna have to make sure they've got warm gear for the trip. (Shameless plug warning). If you don't already have warm clothing or are due for some new stuff, make sure you get your orders in for the official 10th Nats gear for pickup upon arrival at Station Resort.    See you in the SnowiesCheers, Tim. PS. All the very best of luck to all of you guys working on your FE-FC's to be ready in time for the Nats. We are following the progress and can't wait to see the results cruising into Jindabyne at Easter. |

Tailshaft_Tim, The only problem is that we will wear them once and then let the moths get to them...  Hey Ed, Beers are after the shout of excitement and then grabbing evryone that you can find to show them it actually does work... Crank it mate!! |

On 15 Jan I wrote: My donk is coming out of the car tomorrow to be rebuilt to make sure it gets to Jindabyne. I hope to have it back in the car in 4 weeks to give it a bit of running in before the trip. Funny about that - 8 weeks later and ... Recon motor, recon gearbox, repaint engine bay, treat & seal 80% of underside of car, seats repacked and are now round and soft, not flat & hard (original vinyl) And this all started out because I didn't trust the timing gear. (alloy gear fitted) Anyway, 9:30 this evening, started Jim up, and went for a drive around the block. Tomorrow I think I'll go for a drive. Jindabyne, here I come. Martin PS.: I hope to have a couple of photos up in the gallery tomorrow night. |

Well we made the trip through Mexico and did not sight one taco. Nine days on the road 1,736 miles with only a bonnet cable failure. Nine cars made the trip 6 Holdens the FC was the oldest a 66 Merc, 65 Mustang and an early 70's Rolls.
So I can now feel confident that the old car will make the trip to Jindabyne.

I have no idea how i am going to do this, not only is it becoming financially impossible but today i started pulling my car down and it doesnt seem physically possible.
body is entirelly swiss cheese, looks like the car will be one big driving patch.
I must thank Craig wilson and zephyr brad for showing up out of the blue with not one but two engine cranes and some helpfull helping hands.
this was just what I needed and totally unexpected just as I was about to scratch my head and ask my self how I was going to takle the motor they pulled up out the front.
when I realised my luck I quickly sent my wife of to get some pizza and bourbon and we were off.
