Love the round headlights. Period colours right there. Look forward to seeing it 'Rhetted'. 'Luckyphil' has one of the bumpers.

Thanks Brad,

There is a guy in doncastein near Ruffey Lake park that has a heap of these in his front yard. I think he owns a auto shop place in Ivanhoe.
Could be a goer for parts!!!

Oh dear...........
Now that Dad has a Trakka and I'm in love with Clarabelle, I thought it's be good to get a parts bus. The late panel might become an off road camping bus.

The territory wheels look ace mate. Is this one getting a smack with the lowering stick?

I like the 423mm ground clearance

Swapping the springs with Dads Trakka, it sits 50mm+ lower in the front and about 30mm lower in the rear. Not going to be low, just a bit more pleasing to the eye.
In the mean time, we got a few more jobs done on her........
