    Hey Mick,

    Thanks for that mate, she is a beauty and I love her, enjoy her regullarly but moved house recently so she is in need of a good cleanout as its been a bit of time between rides..Plus i noticed a bit of oil the other day, so a tune up is in order as well..

    So glad i bought her instead of listening to some others just cause of the old XX7 debate even though i understand it, she is still a great piece of motoring history and i love driving it!

    Im saving for a complete rebuild of the engin and bay and dont want to do much till then as its still the orig engine and even though its still strong she is old and needs care so a young hoon like me needs restricting till i can make her purr like new again as she deserves.

    I did get a tail tent off the boys here though and its a beauty..well done to them for making them i hope they sell out!!

    Hows tricks for you mate.

    That's him! I'll have to get a good photo of it off you one day for the book, as I have a picture of it in there as a "before".

Yours will be very much a minority to be firstly an Acacia Ridge van in Tassy, and secondly being a Brisbane build to be missing it's special vehicle package code.
    Most Tassy cars that i wrecked when i was living in TAS were Melb built.

    That is basically what I said Adam, ie vans with Elizabeth bodies. There would be some Dandenong bodied utes but not many around anymore.
