G'day gang, here's the latest

The 2021 Eureka Nationals will held on the 3rd weekend of October starting Friday night 15th through to Sunday 17th.

Base camp for the weekend will be in Sale Victoria with plenty of activities in and around the area planned for the whole weekend.

Being Victoria in October there is always the chance of inclement weather so please remember to bring some warm clothing

Bookings will be happening online through trybooking.com once we've got the booking page fully sorted where it will be on a first in best dressed basis as expected.  First in best dressed could become exactly that if limited maximum numbers of people are imposed due to government Covid restrictions although by October we're hoping for the best of course but please keep it in mind.

Please note that full refunds will be available should another Covid outbreak stuff our plans up  

We have a Motel booked and raring to go with excellent facilities to suit our needs.  They have Queen rooms, Twin rooms, a limited number of Family rooms as well as Self Contained apartments and there's plenty of parking available for trailers too.

So stay tuned to this thread for further announcements including the trybooking.com page so you can book your spot for this fabulous weekend

Long time since a post.
Not much work done on car I'm afraid.
Working most weekends now so not a lot of time for car work.
I squeezed in a little time to make new trailer ramps and re-wire the trailer.
2 years sitting idle left most of the wiring corroded and it needed new lights.
Added an electric winch so its easier to put the car on.
Leds should last a lot longer.
Toying with the idea if a laser to align the car but Aussie laser class rules make it hard to see in daylight and still be legal.
I could make a dash sensor to say left/right and center or
I could use my laser etcher head but I don't want to punch holes in the car.

we are going to a completely diferent town now i think

Do we have any dates yet?

I shall try!

 

now there's an excellent idea :O

Hi Peter,

i have been very slack. But I will post this on FB if that is still a thing after the almighty AU government are finished lol.

Looking good by the way and as a  coincidence I saw 'donuts' on one of the car show on TV just a week ago.........looks like fun!!

BTW Jukebox is still rocking

And how about you get your reek on the road again and drive it like we do?Cyco

Exhaust n bits
Chrissy hols were way too busy to get much car stuff done so sorry for the slow post.
New pics here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ThhSRujTdtP8cD9i6
After going to my exhaust guy explaining that the car isn't mobile to bring it to him. He said have you every used donuts?
Pic 1 are all the pieces necessary to make an exhaust system. The round things are donuts. What an awesome idea. Cut an angle you want.
Pic2 and 3 are the exhaust coming together. A tedious job of cutting, placing, tack welding, removing and welding. 1 joint at a time.
Pic 4 is a virtually new muffler I had left over from another Eureka. So waste not - I had to make a sleeve for it though as the inlet was 3mm too small.
5 Finished. Although hard to see as it is all tucked up neatly on the motor.
6 was my rebuilt radiator which is now installed and piped. No leaks!
Test fitting the seats in 7.
As there is practically nowhere to tow or pull this car onto a trailer, pic 8 shows a tow arm and removable eye bolt I made.
This bolts onto the H beam and tucks under the front tub. The eye bolt can be screwed into a hole behind the number place.
I spoke earlier about using a mesh on the front of the ears. 8 is a finished product.
Pic 9 is the interior coming together.
Pic 10 is me finally working up the nerves to drill holes in the side of the car to fit the mirrors.

See ya
Peter

I thought as much. I'll probably have to put my annual leave soon.
