Got a nice haul of Aussie Dirt & Track magazines in the mail.... a local deal, and pretty good price as well. 26 of the first 29 issues... some rare awesomeness here! DandT.jpg Issue 26 is going to a good mate to complete his D&T collection, and the rest..... who knows? Maybe I'll just read ...

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!! And Joel even signed my box!

Hopefully this doesn't develop into the need to also turn an original into a race replica. I already got rid of the Ultima that I had for that cancelled plan.

I have to say that RJ's truck looked awesome in the flesh at the Bash.... and his performance was a standout for me, from a pretty awesome weekend of racing, chatting, and talking poop. Was great to finally meet the guy, after we've given each other so much carp over the years on here! Such a brill...

I have some pretty ordinary mobile phone photos coming.... but here's one from Out Of Turn Photo Photography on Bookface...

Just got home from the track, thanks Alex for my matching stubble cooler :D It was fun catching up with you and Rob and talking crap. Watching Rob with the wing wire was gold :lol: and congratulations on your raffle win, have you thought about buying a lotto ticket?? :lol: 20231105_215629.jpg That'...

Same here Rob, it was great catching up with you, seeing your cars, telling stories etc. It was definitely a fun event and I enjoyed watching your car. There are quite a few great pictures of your car ! 4wd's went all the way down to an E main ! Updated photos that my missus took. Resized_20231104_0...

Either that or I can get the wife to cook up some sweets/pastries and start a bakery.

Well, that's night 1 in the bank.... Night1.jpg That ASSociated front end is fiddly as anything! Surprised I only lost one e-clip, with my sausage fingers.... Night1 Front End.jpg Night 2 will most likely involve adding the rear arms... I need to pull down my donor transmission and add all the 'good...

Night 2 done... just installed the rear arms and hubs. Will sort out the rear hub bearings and start disassembly of the donor trans tonight, so progress may get a little slow for a while....

Some schumie nos bit and a few traxxarse bits to Nos topcat wing and bosscat undertray was nice to find also some srm tuffnol spurs. The 2x20 fronts are actually miss labeled and are the 4 row rib schumie fronts off the front of the original cougar that I’ve been hunting for for a very long time IMG...

Night 3 was a quiet one, progress-wise... sorted out some more of the missing parts, and did some more work on the rear end. Night3.jpg It's been a while since I've put together Schumacher driveshafts from new parts (plastic parts and unis), and I've never done the Daytona shafts before... they're a...

Some "Free, just pay postage" Tamiya bits from a good FB friend.... TA04 - pretty much complete, apart from gear cases I think... TA04 Parts.jpg TB01 - Near enough to new tub parts, to go into one of my rebuilds. TB01 Parts.jpg Next up: Durango parts (please don't ask me why!). Alex

Sad day yesterday.... we had to say goodbye to our gorgeous Louie. Only 7 years old, but ravaged by Lymphoma. Still, he put on a brave face right to the end...
Fair thee well, Mr. Munchkin... our lives were better for having you in them. We'll see you again, one day.

Hey guys. I'm starting my restoration on my 870c i got off ebay many years ago, after receiving I placed on the shelf with my other Yokomos. Only got my hobby room back after a leaking pipe in the wall flooded the room, so I thought it was about time to start it. IMG_20231216_172700_1.jpg Will try a...
