Default 22 hour marathon border raid

At 2AM this morning Euan McDonald and I returned from a border raid deep into New South Wales territory to recover my FGT rear body "colander" from Keith Adam's property near Oakdale, just south of Sydney.
We had departed shortly after 4AM for a largely trouble free trip which also involved drop offs and further pick ups from other collections along the way.

About half way home at Tarcutta.



This is at Keith's place, and this is it's good side, yes really. That's former owner Peter Morgan assisting. Peter has another FGT No9 to restore.



Almost on.



In the main street of Yass with the added Dodge engine for Euan's father in law which almost broke everyone's back loading it.



The next step is to throughly photograph and measure before removing the rusty bits and sandblasting before deciding on the best place to cut to join to the rest of the truck and consequent reskinning.
