Hi Skidmond,

Here's a few photos of my morrys.

I like the back end of your van. The back end is usually pretty un-spectacular (in my opinion) on the vans, but the taillights and custom bumper give it a nice look.

I hope mine gets to looking that good someday..

[Skidmond]

Hi Stracho, thanks for the pics. That van is a beauty....love the colour and the wheels go great with it. The 4 door is nice, and like you said, a spitting image of mine...you obviously have great taste in cars

what are the tail lights on the van from???????

the taillights look ford, possibly escort van 74-78 ?

[stracho]

Hi yes grant is right they are off a ford escort van. But have to move the bottom door hinges down so that the lights line up with the swage line on the morry van.See i told you that you have good taste even if some N s w people think otherwise. You know who i mean Cheers

[Skidmond]

Are you doing the Bridle Track while you're up there?
Maybe that's why you're leaving at 4.00am, looks like you're going that way on Sunday morning .

[Triumph Man]

we might come that way, last time I did it was along weekend, never again, we had to pass about a dozen cars what a nightmare running your tyres along the edge of a couple of hundred meter drop with tourists hanging there camera's out the window not watching where there going.
we will be in an old fj 80 land cruzer with no roof, so could be frozen & dusty when we get there, it gets cold at night & they expect a cold snap comin.

There's been a bit of rain up that way so the Turon might be a bit difficult to cross at the moment. We did the Bridle Track in September last year & only encountered a few cars & the river was fairly low. Beautiful country to spend the weekend , we couldn't believe how green it was even without too much recent rain.

[Triumph Man]

last sep was nice & green, we went for a week on boxing day, & it was dry & dusty again, they have had some strong storms with wind & hail, so I hope my camp is ok.
Well the zook is chained on the trailer ready, so I'll go pack the esky & go.
