Hello from Lemming land.
The only salt I will see this year will be on my fush and chups (bit of Kiwi pronunciation there).
For a variety of reasons we (Tracey, Nonu the dog and I) are returning to NZ after 27 years in the UK.
The house here is sold and we have just had a nice man measure up the Lakester - turns out, using a 20 foot container, most of our household effects will not be travelling but the Lakester and the garage effects will. We have some land near Tauranga and will be building so I have convinced Tracey new furniture would be more appropriate (although the workshop might be the first room built).
As such I have had to do a rush job to get Squeeze on his feet to make travel easier - nothing like a deadline to get things moving; first time wheels have actually been attached to axles! In the process of jacking it went sideways and landed on its furry fibreglass underbelly - sounds of cracking body panels.
Not as bad as it could be and the silver lining - the rear suspension pushrod went over centre and locked up so that needs redesigning - better to discover that now than wonder why it went pear shaped on the salt.
A few pics to whet the appetite - one shows the rack and under all the bog dust you can just make out the lower pair of the 4-bar setup. The double D is a sliding steering column, under the floor (that's the x member you see).
