you must be doing it right! 

Swapmeat. Need I say more?

Come for the longest running o/s event. Just like every year, it’s the first weekend of August.

Friday night shenanigans at the ‘Ding Hotel. We've locked in the Lounge Bar again - a bit further away from the pokies but it's choice.

Saturday til noon attendance to the Swapmeet itself hosted by the Palmy North Hot Rod Club down at Manfeild, Feilding. Best place for speedway sauce covered hotdogs and Jag IRS parts. Entrance fee is usually $10 and Automotive only swapsite $10. Bring ya cash. 

Saturday afternoon adventures at TBC. Likely to be a cruise and/or a mystery shed visit.

Saturday night shenanigans at the Caledonian Hall on Weld Street. $10 entry and the first 40 are in the meat raffle draw. Gates open when I've finished my Chicken Tikka Masala and a couple rounds of Bollywood Bingo at FlameFlameFlameFlame. 

Sunday morning at some cafe but if you were man enough to party hard then you’ll be in no state to eat. It's a book your own affair so ask around the crew and figure out a plan that works for you.

Book your own accom, sort your own ride! 

T-shirts and stickers TBC!

Who’s ken?

wondering where i can find the front windshield guard?? 

hey Mate, welcome to the forum. Have just moved your post into the discussion thread for the project!

Those mesh visors are fairly universal, but they did come in different sizes (for smaller to large cars). They often pop up on trademe or FB marketplace/parts pages etc. 

If you've got a 73 KE26, please post up some pics ! 

what? no waaayy

Shit it's a cool wagon - what's it's current state?

it's in more pieces than it needs to be... just like everything!

just built a room where it was living in the shed. once that is finished I might move it somewhere else in the shed to gather more dust. but at least it is safe and dry 

thats cool. try some general freight companies that run flat decks/trop deck transporters etc. PTS, STL, Main Road, etc etc might be worth a shot. If they cant do it then they'll prob put you into contact with those that can
