    Nice morning here today, hows the drought up your way? Good weather for finishing your modified. I figured the motometer could be your handywork. Very nice touch.

    The one he's using is an HQ Holden one (GM Australia, and about 1973-74 vintage) they are redelly avaliable over this way and work great. Ive also used small and compact ones from japanese cars(yea yea I know, jap shit) like Suzuki Jimny and Mazda. 37 Ford work great as well, getting a bit hard to come by over here now though.

    VW Kombi has been used a lot (I have one in my AV8) but they're getting hard to find and silly money now.
    BTW: I've renamed our slice of paradise the land of the long hot drought.... :D

    Just a couple more up date pics. Wiring finally finished, don't get me started on that one!!:D



    I intend to swop out the :eek: blue HT wires soon as I can get a set of black ones.
    A shot from the back with the straps on the tank


    and lastly doors back on waiting for upholstery and glass.


    That will be it for a while till I get the last bits and pieces done.
    thanks for looking in:):)

    Ok so I was looking back over the years I've been on the Hamb and didn't realise I hadn't updated my build thread, (not that you've been holding your breath waiting) so without further ado here is some pics to bring it up to date. First ones are upholstery
    carpet
    new rear tyres
    Torneau cover
    luggage rack
    Fuel guage
    out cruising
