[Rodgebone]

we do plan to come back your way at some point (probably on the way to tazzy or nz). this time i wanna crack at your land yacht so scare up some wind for us mate!

Flights to NZ are cheap from Adelaide, so if you need someone to look after Tigger while you're gone, just let me know!!

wanna look after my kids instead? they're all teenagers, s/b a snap!

So were all sitting waiting wishing for some updates on tigger. Their's no way in hell you havn't touched it in 2 weeks

um, well, havent done much actually - been a lazy sod. Bandit needed a couple of things done so been working on that. i did finish cleaning up under the bonnet and secured another t-case w/sye and driveshaft. also started putting new bushies on so will update w/pics soonish.

Great to see there was a lot of progress mate while I was away.

the project is now fully funded and a motor/tranny combo will be purchased in a few weeks. the sye'd transfer case and driveshaft s/b here long before then. the prelim work is nearly done. the custom steering box brace is in, the engine bay has been fully detailed, the wiring has been stripped of all the deadwood and freshly re-wrapped with new convulent and the new bushwackers are on (i put the grill and fenders back on for now to get them off the garage floor). next i have one more wheel well to undercoat & one broken lug stud to replace. also found the hubs are shot (dunno how that happened from sitting as they were fine after the axle went in) so will be doing those soon. i've robbed the MT Claws and put them on Bandit so fresh bias ply 37s (trail) and 35" AT Radials (street) are now on the list as well (and maybe some new rims). might drop the tank and do the Novak fuel kit while im waiting to find a motor so there is one less thing to get done as my motivation has picked up a bit knowing we can finish this sometime soon. everything is on track for a maiden voyage this fall (fingers crossed).
