Congrats on the F15 movement. Being from the birthplace of the Ford Blitz it is good to hear another has been resurected.

Cliff,
Dont you know???? Keith is building suspense for Year of the Blitz II I am sure that the F15 will feature in it.. ![]() ![]() Not long to Corowa; Time is against me & my F15A, but I will be there. Unless someone has a float for free the old girl is staying home. Chris: LEARN DOUBLE CLUTCHING NOW>>> so you don't end up with a set of spare teeth in the bottom of the box. Ian

Here's one I took this evening after fitting the front shell - a fiddly procedure with the splash panels in the way of everything it seems. Still a lot to do. Hopefully will fit the spare wheel carrier (Aust type) tomorrow. I'll put it on with the spare on the drivers side for Chris in European conditions, not that I expect him to use the spare. (Does anyone ever get a flat in Switzerland?)

Great to see its more than a myth.. It is looking good;
Looks like all you have to do is the wiring, headlights, clearance lamps, rear lamps, indicators, fit some chairs, windscreens, knobs, dash, doors, tray, a coupla fuel tanks, brush guard, canvas top, new tyres, tac plate, bridge plate, number plate, only 41 days to Corowa....give or take a few. She's getting there though. I am very pleased for you. Chris, practice that double clutching... Ian

... hmm, well, unfortunately I can only practice double clutching in Aussie. All European cars have nowadays a synchronised gearbox (or how you call it)
![]() I can do the double clutching exept changing gears downwards from Gear 3 to Gear 2. That's the most tricky one for me. When I drove Max's Ute from Yass to Corowa and back I could nearly do the double clutching. However, with Keith's new gearbox I should change gears like a little goodess ![]()

The trick is to let the truck slow to the right speed because of the large gap between third and second gear, and also be relaxed about it. If you're stressed it's much harder.
