Mike I will keep an eye out also you might want to talk to the ACT Club as I dare say they might be able to help you too. Would be good to check out your progress also.

The actual street is Grose St Deakin. Follow Jon's directions and you'll get there. Although don't take the first left immediately after the Lodge or you'll get lost. Take the second left (first off-ramp) and you're more likely to get there.

Yeah Michael sorry about that, I thought everyone was departing and was out in the car park having a chinwag for about 20 minutes so I thought you would be out. Still mate after an extended absence (building a kitchen) I am back in the fold. If you are coming to the bookshop meet (yeah I have no idea what that's about either!) I will be there and hopefully with the Adaptronic installed.

Cheers

Matt

Hi all,
Brief update... Crusty has arrived in Canberra, well not far from Queanbeyan towards Bungendore to be a bit more exact. I will be starting to set up the new workshop tomorrow night and then we can start again... its been 2 long months since I have been able to do anything so this sure is a milestone in the re-creation of Crusty Octavius. Seeing the results of Matts dyno efforts has inspired me even more to extract digit and get the build progressing.
Will commence updates in the Targa thread as soon as I have something to tell... probably pics of the Crustitorium once I get some more equipment from Sydney.

Cheers folks
Michael
