I have been doing other things for the last 6 months, but hope to get back working on the Ute this week, still a lot to do.

Yep, 10 and a half years so far on my Ute 'Clockwork' I have periods of not touching it and periods of non stop work on it. When playing with it stops being fun, I find something else to do, then I co ...

If you want to go bags look at putting Holden Gemini front and rear ends under your Morrie. Rear would need to be a 4 bar set up and the front has room for the bags. For bags to look the best you woul ...

Roof has been whacked 100 mm.
