My Ford blitz ambo project took a major step forward yesterday with the acquisition of a rather essential component....a body! Having lusted after one of these as a 15 year old, I can hardly believe there's one sitting in my driveway as I type!

Strange as it seems to me now, this priceless object of my adolescent desire cost only $140 on ebay - I could probably have scraped that up at age 15 from my paper round! Of course, I would have had trouble recovering it from Tumut on my bicycle.

Here's a few pics of this auspicious (to me!) occasion. First one sees her in idyllic surroundings near Tumut, where she served for many years as a children's cubby house; next in the car park of the pub where I stayed overnight; then an unsheduled stop next morning when the car broke down temporarily, and finally a late evening arrival at home in Yarra Junction. Then, by way of self-motivation, a pic from Keith's website showing just how gorgeous she can be made to look!
