The day has finally come that I'm packing up the FC and starting the trip to Wagga. It will take 2 days and cover almost 1000kms of tar.

At this stage I'll be leaving about 12 noon and arriving late arvo in Mildura.

Few more little things to sort today including qtr window glass and mudflaps.

Things like the external sunvisor and crome hubcaps will be fitted in Wagga to avoid any damage on the way.

Last night I painted the hubcaps and they look good with crome and a red and black centre.

Yesterday I did probably 100kms around town and it ran very smoothly. Temp light came on for a couple short periods but didn't appear to cause any issues.

More updates to come as I travel across SA, VIC, and then NSW.

Some people have commented that I should trailer the car over to avoid stone chips and any damage. My feeling is that grandad purchased the car to be driven and I prefer real cars that get driven and not so much trailered show cars.

Cheers
Peter.
