Hi all VV's everywhere,

Hillbilly and Lovshack have arrived in Mildura after a nice run across the paddock from Perth, and what a great trip it was.

A couple of photo's of Hillbilly's preparation and then meeting up with Dave and Pat (Lovshack) just outside of Balladonia for the total 3000km journey to Mildura.



Cutting out the "spats" for Hillbilly at Daggsey's place in Bridgetown WA.





Thanks heaps to Daggsey for doing a a nice touch of artwork on Hillbilly before Mildura.......much appreciated mate......





And many thanks to Brian Noble (Noble's Garage) for his vinyl laying skills.....a top job....



Then back to Mark's Beverley paradise shed to paint the spats and get on the road to Mildura.............. thanks Mark for the top accommodation in Beverley over the past month or so......

Hi Hillbilly,

What a top job - from the photos Hillbillys Haven looks great.

You did a great job with getting the painting and everything done in such a short time frame, so you obviously didn't have too many interruptions.

It even has matching curtains and paintwork - be careful, you are showing your feminine side

Love the colour scheme - it looks really good.

Glad to hear that you and Loveshacks made it to Mildura ok.

Thanks for the photos.
