Happy New Year all,
My New Year's resolution is to help a friend out with getting the only surviving wartime Australian Army Weasel up and running for its intended debut at the Bundy Swim-In this June. There are approximately 125.7 metric craploads of work to be done on it before then. Just about everything - hull, suspension, bogies, steering, motor, gearbox and more needs to be dealt with.

The amazing thing is we have good tracks ready to go on (and the correct 15" ones at that), so for once in a Weasel's life the most difficult items are not an issue. The hull is being rebuilt by grafting the remains of another hull on to the back.

Wish us luck!

Steve.

Hi all from God's Country here. Happy New Year from Ada & myself. Resolution, get Phoenix to 2009 Corowa and have all the Oz Carriers with new rubbers on their wheels.

I too have too many projects and too little time.
Last years resolution was to finish the Diamond T and I came so close.
This year I'm not making one, just going to plod along and see what happens.
Although I have said that I will float the jeep in a tarp at the Bundy swim-in.
Have a great year everyone!!
Cheers
Jeff

HNY to all...
My new year's resolution is to not make any more resolutions.
Will be working to get the F15 to Corowa, as well as Ganmain Tony's F60L!
A divorce seems to be getting closer...

You can send her to me, if she finished with you. Grin.

Seriously a great lady, pleasing on the eye, and I expect she gives you loads of support.

All the best in the new year to you all.

Regards

Col

For me, the great things about this are
(a) I will be videoing the antics of getting the jeep to float
(b) It's not my jeep being floated
and
(c) Should step (b) turn out unsuccessful, there will be an interesting collection of vehicles (LVT4, DUKW, GPAs and hopefully the Kenworth Wrecker) available ready to recover your jeep from Davy Jones Locker

Steve.
