Success - after four weeks of soaking the engine in diesel, I can finally get it turning over. I was just about to take the head off and thought i'd give it another manual crank and boom over it turned over. With that worry gone I can now focus on getting the body off..

Half way, more of a GS than Topo at the moment as I continue the hunt to make it complete. Currently in two pack primer, front bar is a spare while the oringinal is getting getting a tidy up.

Good save!

This has changed a lot since we first saw it.

I do have a few photos of the Toolern Vale vehicle if you need any, showing some of the Topo Survey unique bits.

Cheers,

Mike.

The more photos the better I always say. It's definitely been a fun game, every time I looked at a different part I needed to rebuild it or fabricate parts. it's going to be a long journey...but an enjoyable one.

No problem Jeremy,

It is a bit of a time capsule that vehicle.

As far as I know, it is still on the property, as the owner wants to hang on to it.

If you are after any other specific photos, I may be able to get some more, if I go there again.

Cheers,

Mike.
