What I also meant to say was that I have heard of numerous instances where the pain is still drying en. route to Corowa. This will probably be the case also.

Bob, I hope your Pain dries up quickly and the Joy begins to flow.

Oh yes, there's plenty of that commodity... but LMAO for the time being.

Hi all - look what is coming home tomorrow. Sorry about the quality of the image but have had a secrecy white-out. Tee Hee.

Is the white-out secrecy something to do with the fact some poor carrier owner is looking at his vandalised carrier, scratching his head and saying "Now where do you think my running gear could have gone? I could have sworn it was all there last time I looked in the shed."

Either that or it is applique snow to make the Canadians feel better.

Or perhaps Colin over-refreshed himself on a hot day and it now has the back end of a Lada Niva.

Well I'm shocked, I thought you were going to paint it green. Also when did you break into my workshop without me knowing and paint it white.
(there better not be any white paint on my floor)

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.
