last time I was talking too him about it, he was grumpy. A few years ago he was buying and wrecking heaps and selling parts, but alas there was little interest in 40 parts. Now the parts are gold and he can't buy them cheap enough. I'm sure Baylis is a scottish name.
Will one of these do Sig............

ohh and on the topic of fuel tanks, i need an early model tank that doesnt leakthe one that sits under the drivers seat inside the cab
look up, buy one of them from the states while the money is good. they are made in aussie, so if you can find out where you may get it cheaper from there.
you got a winch that holds twice as much as normal, why not get a fuel tank that holds twice as much gas

oh come on now
If we really try hard enough, I'm sure we could add a few more people into the mix.
Once I get my hands on it, I can send it to Napier, then on to Carterton, then through to Brooklyn and finally on to Stokes Valley and Sig.
Once all of that is done he should get it in time to give to his mate for a xmas pressie.
