Welcome mate!

Kick back, relax, have a Darwin stubbie :burp: , and ask any questions that come to mind. Though they tend to yabber and appear up a gum tree
at times, the guys in this forum have pulled my underdacks out of the fire more then once. A lot of knowledge here.

Thanks for the welcome people, yep have lots of pic's just have to work out how to get them onto this site-not that savvy with the old computer.
Everything over here is Right Hand drive, the same as NZ (my homeland) and the trucks do vary slightly to what you have in the States and Canada, but still most parts are interchangeable, and I have got a swag of stuff though Dennis Carpenter and Dakota digital in the States. The old girl is de-registered :( and in bits at the moment awaiting her birthday(rebuild) :clap: Although I'm adding lots of goodies to her my intention is that she looks standard externally ,except ,I'm investigating lowering her by about 3" front and 4" in the rear. I have removed the fuel tank from inside(fumes) and slinging one from a Ford Courier underneath- 98% of the(new) wiring will be funnelled along chassis rails and internal cab channeling, and a cabinet will be built behind the seat to house the fuse holder and relays. Will work out the photo 'thing' :doh: and post as I go along. I can send photos via email if anyone is interested- until I work things out. Once again thanks for the welcome.
Wayne.
