I made the mistake of telling a couple of blokes about the HQ so now Im about third in line for it.

There's no such thing as mates when it comes to cheap old cars. Tell no-one till its yours.

Loving the HJ. Still can't get over the colour.

Thanks everyone, couldn't have done it without the people on this site.

On the way to Mount Isa on Friday for glass.

Who are you guys insured with?

There is a thread on this somewhere but my two vans and ute are with Shannon's as limited use vehicles .i've had to send pic of retored vehicle and work on them a bit to get the value to what I wanted
And by the way the ute looks great

so sick! wheels tyres look like 235's on 6" rims.. correct?

[cafiem]

Yep 235's. 6 inch on the front and 7s on the rear.

Insured with Shannons now.

Thanks,
Cameron.

Woo Hoo!

Woo Hoo!

Sensational! All that work has paid off and really looks the goods. Last time I went through there in my HJ those speed limit signs said something else... Got a bit hot (when pushed toward the upper end of the dial) but still sat rock solid on the road. I probably shouldn't be telling you that though... but it was very possible to get from Darwin to my (then) new job in Mt Isa in the daylight heading east. Wasn't (quite as) naughty then like it is now... Miss the Territory. .

Good onya.

Dave.

Ah yes, the old signs. What fun we used to have.
Talk is the new govt is going to remove the speed limits again so it might be fun again.
