Shed: FX sedan project- NOT for sale
This is the FX sedan Project I was sold by the three daughters of John Inglis. This is a genuine one owner car in remarkable condition. Easily without a doubt - one of the best cars of this type in the country.
Unfortunately John passed away suddenly in February 2006. I was contacted by Robin - one of his daughters who was enquiring about getting the car valued so it could be sold. In reality the three girls secretly hoped to find someone that could take over the restoration of their Fathers car.
This car was partially dismantled with many parts already reconditioned and carefully labeled, catalouged and stored away. The amount of meticulous detail that has gone into the restoration of this car by John is unfathomable!
I am honoured that Robin Jane and Jo have chosen me to finish what their father had started in 1975!

Shed: HJ Ute Project now sold...
**Newsflash** This ute has now left the shed- and may now get finished by its new owner. I had to start deleting projects that have been in hibernation a little too long.
This is a HJ Ute I bought from an oldholden.com member - Hothx. They were moving house and it had to go. Ironically they bought it from my mate Wayne - so he was a little surprised to see it in my shed. The plan is to wreck out my WB Statesman and put all the parts into this HJ- thus making a Deville Ute. It will be for sale when finished. Ya want it? call me on (07) 3206 0340.
Follow along as this ute gets the streetneat makeover...

Shed: The tow truck project
The belated 1948 Chev Maple leaf tow truck project - due to the severe expense - ( more than the price of a new HSV!) This project will be completed - eventually - but will take time and lots more $$$$. A lot of the hard work has been done and it is just gathering dust and willful stares at present...

To answer the question on welding with a Henrob torch - It's always best practise to point it away from your beard -If you dont have a beard - then don't point it at anything else that you cherish.
The Torch is used in many albums here, so really its best to go surfing this sites many albums - eventually I will do a more informative how to album- Its really something you have to pick up and practice heaps with - then practise some more- - eventually you will be attacking cars with grinders and kidding yourself you can put it all back together again -I know I do...

Wow, I was just playing on web and found your page. You are an incredibly talented man. For a novice like myself, it must take a lot of confidence in one's self, balls or stupidity to attack a car with a grinder and think you can put it back together.I congratulate you and only dream to be able to restore like this.
