Put new 8 inch rims on the back yesterday with new 235s. Ordered 225s for my pair of 7inch front wheels. Should be here tomorrow. Bolted the spoiler on properly also and screwed the side bits on. Drove it to old man spring genius today and booked it in for spring resetting next weds. Booked it in the week after for new headlining.... Last week put the rare spares tailgate lock thingy in. Still got plenty of things to do but gettin there...

Hmmm, having only just picked it up on Sunday I have driven it every day to work, loving it! A bit hot though... Need to buy some air for it. I am going to start my 'shed' blog showing how it was in 1996 before it was converted from the sandman van to what it is today - a ute. Came with an inch thick folder of documents including the engineer report on the conversion to a ute, the panel costs, etc etc.

Being on the wrong side of 40 I found it funny to be followed closely by 'the fuzz' this morning, very closely and for a long distance, till I went around a round-about and I could almost read their lips "ah it's just an old fella" and they backed right off... Hahahahaha, I felt 18 again!

I am just thinking about doing: Fix the clock, fit air con, replace the 'sports wheel' that was put on when the stock wheel broke, get some original wheels to get rid of the hot wires. Then I'll block it back and paint it Jade Green again, put the stripes back on, then in the future when I find a good van turret I will put that back on.

Sat in it in the shed, glass of scotch in hand and dreamed of finishing it off one day.
