cant wait. was an awesome show last year and having the Van nats there as well will be cool. Just a shame rebellion is soooo far from being roadworthy. cant wait to get there though. Hey Jeff, if you and TP want a detour and a cuppa on the way up call in and see us at Taumarunui. i email you our details.

fish, just bought myself another van, an xc sundowner factory 302 4 speed. bubble windows at rear. GS bonnet, grille and lights and dash. fitted with a 351 now. i only want it for the running gear so it will end up on here as a roller. i would keep it but the body is more than i want to take on.gotta go pay for it now, hope my mate hasnt changed his mind, it is a bit cheap.

well i have a manual floorchange box that cam out of my old XF sedan laying around, so i figured i could buy an auto and change it over. i like the XF type ones better. not worried about economy etc. surely some of that XH stuff can be transferred back to the XF!

i was planning to come up but work has kept me here for the weekend, if you could keep an eye out on something it would be appreciated. i would prefer and XD-XF type, but am open, i want a project so something that needs some work and has a live rego would suit best.
