you think you are just going to be screwing all the last bits in - no worries - but no.

aussie fords. a thing of the past.

gave it final finishing touch.
aus design award sticker stuck in the window the way an indifferent 18 year old assembly line worker did it 25 + years ago after a night on the beers.

here is another aussie ute curiosity.

am sure you guys might have heard of them.
VW country buggy.

australia only.



i'd love to have one.
an aussie mini-moke?
rare as hen's teeth. total sales dud at the time and only lasted a year.
developed for the army who politely declined the offer.
now worth a small fortune if you can even find one.
extreme minimalism.

you can't carry much of a load in them.
just a sick sheep or give your cattle dog a ride down the paddock.

i think they would blow minds in the USA if you drove one around.
like a much weirder vehicle than a Thing.
+ right hand drive for a bit of novelty value.
