At least you have a house which is yours so you dont have to move the wagon every move It'll roll again soon and you'll be happy... but then, we wouldn't have anything to talk about... unless you already have another project hidden in your shed.

itching to drive this, its all ready to go, just waiting to get the exhaust done. im hoping ill be driving before christmas! gave it a well earned wash yesterday ---------- Post added 13-12-15 at 19:20 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by BUD [View Post] **** me this is one of the mintest vl wagons I've seen and read about well done champ also were did you put battery to champ as I'm in the middle of doing the similar build cheers ive got it in the spare wheel well, a sealed battery no taller than 180mm fits great, you just have to make up a clamp. i also used a vb-vh spare wheel cover, its metal and has a hing at the front so there no chance of anything falling through it onto the battery etc. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
