Default Cool!

Hi Colin,

Great looking carrier to work with. Keep the progress photos coming please!
I love those vehicles and hope to have one some time too. Don't tell my Wife that though , she thinks this CMP is my first & last restoration. She's a nice girl but in this case............doesn't have a clue

P.S: What are those large triangular pieces in the background? Is that the RAAF logo on em?

Keefy you beat me by a short half-head.
I was going to suggest that if you did that to my ute you'd probably end up with a pile of assorted coins on the round... Not to mention empty coke bottles, McDonald's chip boxes, chewing gum wrappers, etc etc...
I have often said that if I ever roll my ute, it won't be the impact that kills me, it'll be the $200 worth of two bobs that will take my head clean off!

Mornin' being able to lift these up like that, makes it a very quick job of steam cleaning and prep before grit blasing. Of course I don't like to have them hanhing around too long.
Mike, they are Mirage wings and the palms you see are just part of my little "Oasis" here in Adelaide.
Colin.
