Hi Rich!
My HUW came from a friend up here in Brisbane that restored it back in 94/95. But it had not been finished off so I have been busy last 6 mths tarting it up and installing all the goodies in/on it.

The C8A you refer to got recovered and now resides in Sydney but it is a long way from hitting the road... hopefuly one day. Oh and its a HUP so being the personel model apposed to the HUW.

Phil...

Phil,
I saw you camped in Narrabri (and followed you up the street ) on the Tuesday leading up to Corowa however I did not spot your vehicle at Corowa. Your post answers my question as to what happened to you. There is always next year. Good post.
Cheers
John W.

Roger that

I helped him to a small degree with the antenna mount drawing and a B set rubber mount . He used a C8AX as a base and built up the body from plans he obtained from Canada and the UK... not a easy job by any standards ...but the result is top shelf.
