Hi Folks
Well as you know there has been a lot of "bondwood" under the bridge since my last update on this thread.
Since then I have built another replica TD that converts to a motorbike hauler....
It still hasn't got a proper christening yet so it is know as the "NECOT TD".. Not everyones cuppa tea..took about 18 months to build and has seen plenty of miles since completion early 2013..

Also found time to restore a 1956 Supalite Bondwood.. "Old Blue"'
Image
'Image
Took it on a tour around the alps in autumn this year.. got pressure applied to sell it .... but refused.. so I ended up swapping it for some old bikes that "Strugglebrook-John amd Pam had in their sheds as well as a couple of vans...
an old Purdon...
Image
That old mate Keith Halpin from QLD bought and.. a teardrop.....Woodebago also from John and Pams..Cant seem to find a pbucket photo of it??

Anyway.. after a short period of depression without a vintage van I managed to buy back the 1954 Fairway from Jules and Burt .. the couple from springwood I sold her to back in 2007.
After bring Matilda home I have had a good look over her and the years haven't been real kind to her.

I will start a separate story of her "Freshen up" here in Members photo Album .
Chow for now
