I dunno about the rest of you, but I can't get Sarge's shot of the 90% complete A pillar. So here's one of the right hand A pillar. Fine work, and all for 12 cups of coffee a day!   |

Hands off Russ! We're in the "No Transfer" part of ther restoration season. At the completion of Hilda, the season is over and Sarge becomes a free agent. I must mention at this point, because of a very onerous contract he signed, the transfer fee is significant! Also, I do need to inform you that, as Sarge's agent, I receive 40% of all negotiated remuneration. That includes beer, NOS parts or any other discreet forms of payment.

Well just a quick note to bring you all upto date. Lower section of "A" pillar & sills to go & Hilda will be right to paint. I would think that with in the next two or three weeks, Hilda should have some colour back in her cheek's. Then it's just amatter of putting her back together & presto one Happy Emu & One P*#sed off Kiwi. Now isn't this just Wonderful news Kiwi.  COME ON AUSSIE COME ON COME ONRegards Sarge:- willing to work 7days a week & 24 hrs a day if need be.

Sarge, You guys are just awesome, but you should slow down on the updates a bit. The Kiwi will be getting jealous enough to start taking shortcuts to catch up and it won't be a fair comparison between Kiwi's paper mache and your good ole Aussie steel repairs. My white rocket is in the shed now as the V8 project begins. Being winter down here I've already bashed a few throbbing knuckles as they slip off spanners, so it won't be moving along as fast as you blokes up there on the luvely GC. Like Hilda, I'm missing the right hand bottom A pillar section on my beast, so if you've got nothing to do and want to make up 2 of that side (specially the outside curvy bit), I'd be a roolly appreciative customer  Keep up that good work but backdate your updates so you can frighten the b'jeezis out of Kiwi when it's done. cheers, Leigh |

A couple more update pics of the Sarge's and Kev's work. This is the bottom of one of the guards. Who needs crappie Rust Repair sections when Sarge can do this?  |

Another shot of the same guard, after significant welding by Sarge. In hindsight, the old girl shooda had one of Kiwi's bullets! Every time I fork out some bucks for the 'Ol girl, I console myself by saying, that she should have been dead. If it wasn't for me biting off too much, she'd probably never have seen the road again.  |

Headlight peak area of the same guard. There wasn't a panel that didn't need some work. Trial fit headlight rim. Seems O.K.  |

Leigh What makes you think that these updates are not already back dated. Anybody can change the date that appears on the photo. Regards Sarge |

Kiwi
Was there football on last night, sorry I must have missed it. Havent been able to read the paper's or watch the news of late. Been to busy with Hilda's makeover. Emu will not allow a radio on as this distract's the troop's from the job at hand. So that game last night doesnt count & will be replayed at the completion of Hilda's makeover. I will not make you wait till Sarah's makeover is done. For with a Kiwi In control thats going to take a while.
Regards
Sarge

About bloody time, too! You get an audience all keyed up and looking for some Kiwi butt-kicking and then everything goes quiet. Thought you'd gone into hibernation.
Back quarter looks good.

Hang on there Martin,
I have a bunch of pics to post but, as usual, Starphoto is stuffing me up!
