Slept in till 8am then got on the net for a little while.
Been looking at pics of vans, have taken the twin headlight front on my HJ and put single headlight on.
Have got HJ Statesman triple grill's on it but deciding whether to put HZ Statesman grill's on instead.
Have also stuffed around with an archway for the HZ.
Just had beers & BBQ.

Too friggin hot to do much else ATM.

Went to the local sausage sizzle for brekkie. Pulled the chassis out and started to strip back and clean out rails, got an ice cream container full of grass and hay out of it WTF, wire brushed and Killrusted the bottom frame from one of the seats then too bloody hot so took kids to the pool. Just about to start dinner and crack a beer, Happy Australia Day everyone

on the window, sat down and chatted to fellow classic car lovers, lined up a xy GTHO drive for No1 daughter, for her 21st later this year for a carton of

We listened to the awards, was very hot and

nearly melted, heaps of interest in the van, came home at midday jumped into the pool to cool off then had a

Up at sparrows ... hit the road with BIL on a 4 hour dinki di aussie day road trip to save a pink dinosaur from extinction. We rescued a 1974 Orchid metallic HQ stato which is now resting peacefully in my back shed which my BIL plans to do a nice resto on.

Lamb chops have just come off the barbie ... yum yum it's din din time!
