That looks bloody awesome mate.! It’s unbelievable at just how much of a difference it has made in its apparence. I hope the cramps weren’t too bad on the run down and back in that lovely, roomy foot well.! I struggled to find room in my portee and I still didn’t have a door fitted and went from one end of the paddock to the other, so my hats off to you

On a side note, are the side curtains made up off of a template or photos for a cab 12 or are they made up to look the part and do the job.?

Also, I’m really glad to see your grandfather still making it to participate in the marches mate. It would be a moment to cherish every year.

Side curtains were copies off an original provided by Mr Max Hedges.

The bloke who made them did a good job but he has mucked up the back a bit, which I will get altered.

Have a look at the side curtain thread a couple of threads down the page in the softskin forum.

Looks fantastic, Tony. Good to see that the Riverina blokes are leading the way!

Cheers,

Default Pictures from this season.

What do you do when Covid is rampant, you need a break from your current restoration project and the other half and yourself have a day off?

Answer - go for drive around the local farming district with a packed lunch in a Cab 12 F60L.

We are experiencing the perfect season. Rain has been falling in exactly the right amounts at exactly the right time. Crops you could walk on. Livestock as fat as butter.

An amazing turn around from one of the more brutal summers 6 months ago.

My photographic artistry is atrocious. Here's a couple more anyway.

Perfect weather for it as well.
