Good to see
Nice work, Tony - she looks so much better with chevron 20" tyres.
Thanks also for sharing your story so well. I can see I'll have to film a segment for the current 'Year of' DVD at your place.

No worries Tony
No hard feelings Tony - you wanted it - you got it. Thats how it works at a clearing sale.
 I am pleased to see you have done something with it already and hope the project continues to completion... Happily willing to give any advice from my experience of restoring one to you as well. Have fun and look forward to more posts showing your progress..

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!

Congratulations!
Well done, Tony - a sweet moment indeed after all this time.
You're planning to restore her as an Army example aren't you? Next you'll be looking for a lot of canvas, caneite and ply. I was trying to pick the location of your overnight stay...

Having sat in my driveway on display for a week, it was time to move the ambo body into the backyard to meet some new blitz friends.
The first meeting (mating...?) with its future chassis was a little unorthodox.
