Thanks guys yeah I'm really enjoying it although the old 253 is not to flash,I think the valve stem seals are a bit rooted I recon a 308 is on the cards when I get some more cash together and an auto I'm not that keen on the old aussie 4 speeds.
Jaft I got a guy called Carl he lives at willinga to put the stripes on he done a pretty good job, he said he has done about 20 sandmans in his time and he owns a real nice rt charger with all the stripes on it, I can give you his number if you want
