i also found a marumba star (duel axle caravan ) but looks like the slide on pictured above,& in about the same condition, the elderly owner ( with walking stick ) said he was going to do it up, well i guess it will eventually return to the earth & vanish, & be no good to any one , .

looks like that broken sharp bit of pipe nearly made its way through the petrol tank, that would have been good to look in your mirror and see a ball of flame following you up the road,( how many V/Ver's carry a good quality fire extinguisher for those small under bonnet petrol fires ) i have fitted 3 tow bars recently on ( 2 on full size pontiacs & 1 on a 58 chev ) 50mm square with 5 mm walls, with reese hitch style square fitting,where the tow bar attaches to the car i also plate the chassis on the other side & bolt through the 3 layers , i think my tow bars are a little over engineered ,,,, but i don't have to worry about them!!!!

hi , i have several sets of cooper ribbon walls on my american cars , ( white walls have a wide band from rim out usually around 4'' , ribbon walls are one/quarter the price and have a narrower band of white ) as above, you can buy coopers anywhere, i think they are called trendsetters, no joke, they seem to be good on heavy usa cars, -- white walls = $300-$400 each , ribbon walls around $120., if you never never go you will never never know, bigkel,

HI ALL, i have a molasses ( correct spelling ) bath in my man shed ( & a few white tail rats )20 lt of the black gooey stuff mixed with 180 lt of tap water in a 200lt plastic drum, been there for 7 or 8 years in the tropical heat of cairns with no smell. i leave car parts in it for about 2 weeks & it removes all rust, even down to the bottom of the pits,but does not always remove all the paint, but when you hose parts off they must be painted within 5 minutes or surface rust will begin to show. ( parts must be oil & grease free to get a good job )it will not remove grease, all the best , kel.

HI, that is the best looking thing i've seen in living memory. (except for an Airstream.).
Any full sized american V8 should pull it. We will look daily to see if you have posted any new photos.

hi from bigkel in cairns, I only wish we lived closer and could get to more of your get togethers. Really appreciate the amount of photos getting posted, to show us what's going on. Maybe we can make it to more in a few years, when we retire. It looks like a great line up at Coledale. thanks kel
