while at Spanktowns place 4agte came around with his s/c.
was good taking the guy's for a spin in the feral. (i'll have to fix that stupid bosch bov's leak though. grrrr!)
i managed to find the base of the bridge and get a pic of the feral with the bridge and opera house behind it.
down south of sydney now, caught up with davedave. seeing a 3sgte conversion in the flesh gave me a major hard on!!
that engine looks so at home in there.
i plan to be on my way to melbourne kinda this arvo.

Paddy, I like the look of your car. Has it gat the original paint on it or have you had it painted. Looks similar to my car.
All the pics posted so far are great lookind cars, and it sounds like everyone is having fun meeting feral and having a beer with him. Hope his motor makes it all the way though.

Ive been asked by the man himself to post up where he's at so here you go.....
Feral is now in Esperance. He drove there from Ceduna which was over 1200k's. Unfortunately he has suffered a broken windscreen  But other than that he's doing good
Good to here from you John, i look forward to hearing more.

I gather by that comment you have a two tone yourself?

indeed i do except it wont be for long it needs a respray due to some newb drifting.
|
Please my friend,you have a duty (as an aw11 lover)to respray that car in it's original white on silver two tone.It would be a cying shame to see it assume any other colour but it's birth tone and god himself knows it is the best colour combo ever.

ok, update pics time.
after i left davdave in south sydney i drove to Albury, stayed the night there. then in the morning onto Melbourne. i went through the yarra glen (some nice roads there) down to the south east of melbourne.
there i met up with Marc (mcboom).
and from Marc's place i found Phil's (gearbox), he has it up on stands doing a HG repair. (hurry up and get it on the road) 
from Phil's i drove to a place out of Geelong called Clifton Springs. caught up with my lil sister's boyfriend.
in the morning i left from there to Ballarat where i met up with Joel the clown.

ok, heres some more pics.
before i left Esperance my nanna and i where checking feral's oil and water, everything looked good. but then i noticed 2 small coolant krystals on the heater hose off the thermastat to the turbo tee peice. on closer inspection there were 2 small splits on the hose. once i pulled it off there were splits on the inside too.. arrgh!!
good thing i noticed it, having that blow on the nullabor would really suck.
got a 16mm id hose with a 90 degree bend from a commodore that i modded to fit.
on the way to Bunbury i came across a massive RAM... 
in Bunbury i caught up with my real father that i hadnt seen for 12 years, was good to catch up.
while in Bunbury i met Pat who is doing a 4agte conversion on his aw11.
after i left Bunbury i headed north on my way to Perth, in Mandurah i met William and his s/c aw11.

Feral Dude, I cant believe you freaking admitted to having a commodore part on a aw11  what sort of decent car driver are you?!?
i do notice that Mr Feral has an habit of turning dirty cars into sweet rides when photographed. I can promise you that when he took the pic of mine (ie the first pic of 2 2's), I'd just parked it up on the lawn so I could wash it :\

, but a few people have now said/mentioned to me that my roadtrip seemed to end abruptly in this thread. i obviously thought i had signed off on the trip with a closing post, but maybe not. 
so i do apologise to those AW11 fans that where having a look at my progress.
