Hi all - what a day we had. Phoenix has come to life after so long in planning and dreaming. My good mate Paul and I arrived in our truck this morning to take delivery of the untested Phoenix project. Fired up the truck and started driving only to find that being in 4WD the front axles were fighting the rear sprockets. OK, disconnect the front differential and bingo, drove well. Then Murphy decided to step in and gave us serious fuel delivery problems. Not to be tharted we utilised a plastic container filled with petrol and fed fuel straight into the carby. After a terrifying ordeal I got Phoenix onto our truck. Colin said he missed out on the best photograph, that being the look of sheer terror on my face as I am trying to manouever Phoenix onto the back of our truck. Phoenix will now live on top of the truck for the final rebuild, painting and carby rebuild.

I cannot begin to say how much I owe to Colin for taking on and completing this project, suffice to say I couldn't have done it without him. I am so proud of his work that I am posting a couple of images of the completed work prior to the Corowa debut and never mind the teaser images I previously posted. I now have just under two weeks to get Phoenix to a presentable and driveable condition.
