Another one back on the road. My mate and I went halves and bought this old girl back to its former glory. It's on the market and up at Toowoomba swap if anyone is keen for a HR

Good luck with the HR at the swap.

We came across a pretty tidy 1951 Cadillac sedan at Minden today. Pretty tidy old girl too and didn't seem like too bad a value at $30,000.
Only a quick look though.

We had places to be and Mum in hospital to visit.

We sure did. Only thing that was outsourced was the seat covers. Nearly 500 hours of work in it between us.....

Just spent the last few hours cruising in the Coupe with some mates. It was my last drive. She runs out of rego tonight and the new owner is coming to pick her up next week. Will be sad to see it drive away but also very keen to get onto my next project. Cheers, Mike.

Thanks for that. No joy at the swap but plenty of interest and a few people have organised to look at it during the week. Hopefully the right buyer comes along soon.. got an Ek and hambster to build

Oh and more camping to do

Well done. Looks like a quality resto. Always like the HR and dare I say it the HD.
Cheers, MIke.

This was my mates back yard in the early 2000's from memory. There were a couple more hardtops in the front yard as well.

Shane, now you've gone out on your own and taken a bit more control of your life..... how's that spare time for camping going?

I'm sure we could fit you in at Burrum Heads on the week-end.

Would love too, but that won't be happening for a while unfortunately. Way too much Shit going on at the moment,  but things are settling down slowly.
We went away twice last year. Not so long ago it was about 10 times a year.  :'(

It's starting to get a bit silly really.

I reckon a week on Fraser would be the go.  8)

Here's one I built a few years ago with a 598ci Shaffiroff. Did a few laps at Powercruise but never got a chance to race it. Beautiful car to drive.

Sold it to a guy in Melbourne. Dunno if it's still down that way.
