haha You can take the boy out of OZ but you cant take the OZ out of the boy!! When I was spending most of my time in the states I definatly had a funky american/aussie hybrid accent but it hasnt stuck though.

No Not yet. I have it on an unregistered vehicle permit for now. I have 28 days to get the last minute roadworthy stuff done.


Thanks everyone. Im very excited to be driving it. Its so much fun!! The looks, waves and thumbs up from other has been kinda cool too 8-)

Yes mate other drivers. The conditions on the permit mean I cant take off anywhere on a drive. I need to be able to prove that I am getting roadworthy items fixed/seen to.

Had a Chance to do any more work to the Beast Tim, seeing the video made me so keen to get on with my 66 Project.

All I need to do really is
- Replace all swaybar bushes,Swaybar links and bushes
- Replace all 4 Shocks
- Replace all Brake hoses
- Install my new front guards
- Get the Brake Drums machined
- Adjust and bleed the brakes
- Get all electric working.

It sounds so simple when you put in a tidy list. ;)
