My computer security protection doesn't like MLU. Tried on a different computer.

Tried a different way and seems to work same picture, this is my new Champ and yes it's a 1955 Champ under the camo. Used as a beach buggy over on Fraser Island but with loads of underside protection so still in one piece.

You are a glutton for punishment Paul. How stable does it feel with all that weight up top? I suppose the wider tyres would help a little.
I see another Champ on Gumtree with roof rack, I feel that it would be a brave move to go off the beaten track with a load up that high.....

My champ had a home made metal hard top on it when purchased.The difference in the handling when I removed it was amazing !

Paul do you know Dave Mills at all? Another Champ owner.

Hi guys and the guy who remodelled it has been going to Fraser Island with it for close to 30 years and never had an issue with it, can get a bit rough over there in places but the champ stood its ground even winning a race v a landcruiser in reverse of course. Not sure what to do with it but maybe fix up the few problems it has (no brakes) then sell it as is, I had a call from the seller about the champ and a load of spares and well it was going to the tip if I didn't take it. Yes Robin I know Dave, this is my 4th champ so yes I cant help myself.
