Pulled my 74 van out of a storage shed in Lismore about 6 pm. Arrived in Armidale about 9.30.

The traffic was light and we made good time. Plenty of bugs, so it needs a good clean when the chance arrives. Living in Armidale now, so no hurry.

Made some new ignition leads so i can finally fit the top plate.

Rear subframe back from the brake shop. New solid lines and steel braided hoses made up and fitted and new cylinders.
Went down to the local tool shop and bought a 5/8"UNF die for the rear right spindle. luckily the rear left thread is ok, they quoted $130 to get a left-hand thread 5/8"UNF die in
Now to start assembling the drums (that's always fun )

Got a $85 black and decker polisher for $30 because of a damaged box at penrith supercheap today
