Another job finally done I hope I finish before I wear the blitz out driveing it, besides it's work as a spray rig it has four trips to local towns to do in the next five weeks.

Thank you Keith and great to catch up.
The blitz restoration has taken a U turn, I am not building a custom tray now but have purchased various parts for a more genuine rebuild. More to come when travel arangements have been finalised. I have to fly under the radar at the moment as this involves a border raid
Thanks RC.

I just looked up Google maps I have a trip of 382Km ahead of me mostly on back roads so should avoid detection

Robert, If this border raid will help you complete your blitz restoration, then I think it won't really count as a Border raid. The bits came from Tumbarrumba NSW so will just be returning to that State. It wasn't listed as a border raid in the first place. Just a recovery.
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday.
Rick.
