I reckon you should start all the projects at once and put detailed pictures up each week on progress to keep us all entertained..........

teardrop is on the list of things to do, would love that or a period small caravan to put behind my florian. i am trying to limit myself and only do 1 thing at a time, or i end up doing nothing!

You little beauty, mate! :D
You've certainly lifted the resto rate of late Gricey, you must have really enjoyed the Florian fix! Don't even worry about the time getting to them, you kept them safe, and now they get to shine. You have to have something to look forward to! 8-)

I reckon the Florian class should be a goer, I think the word is, "If there's enough starters.........."
So I wonder what Dave C. will bring? Seems he's got enough mates to bring the whole collection! And who of the other S. Aussies may bring a Flo? And any chance of a Qld visitor?
And I've heard of another who visits these pages with a mint example. He knows who he is! Come on down!!!

We shall see.
I'm bustin' to see the green in the metal. Roll on October!

Cheers, Matt.
