    your Merc is way cool Frog! great job on the chop. Preston's truck looks awesome too. Could you let him know it's Conrodder's 40th anniversary run on this coming Labour weekend. Maybe you should all come down...hint...get a few miles on the wagons!
     
  9. Wedding pics look great ! cunning way of hiding that french engine too :p

    Nice looking rides, the stance on the merc looks great. Saw you mention it's got bags in the rear, anymore details on the suspension setup?

    Got a pile of rust and dents that resembles a 51 coupe stashed away up here in Auckland, but actually been considering parting with it lately (finding garage space in Ak can be a bitch when you're renting)

    What an old toilet..........Bad News....You and Preston really look like brothers in that shot. Doesn`t look like I will be in town until the end of the year. Keep on it, Frog.....
