well the easy bit is out of the way, its all pulled to bits, every nut and bolt, im starting to restore every peice bit by bit, im doing the suspension first, control arms ect then i will do the chassis

every part is bagged and tagged and lots of piccy have been taken

my goal is to have the chassis finished and rolling by christmas, then i will start on the rust repairs on the body :-/

chassis just needs assembling now



the body is up on a dolly now, body work will start when the chassis is rolling again

from one home brewer to another, keep up the good work. 33 cent longnecks can't help with progression, well they don't help me anyway, haha

Plus its better beer! Do it with kegs and a tap out the fridge door, stuff the bottles. Plus there is no evidence of how many schooners you have drunk.

yeah man i'd LOVE a keg set-up, i looked into it recently and i could set-up and simple keg system for around $800, this price included the kegs(3 19ltr), taps, line's, regulators, fittings ect all i had to do was hire a CO2 bottle and fit it to my beer fridge, easy as!!

and as you said, no empties for evidence ;-)
