Cape York Run

[Kpar]

Hi,model A Barners, Some time back there was a video posted on the Gladstone Vintage car club on a run to Cape York and I thought I would share with you some info. My 1930 A Ute is one of the vehicles and is still used regularly. Bill Turner got the A from Curtis island in a sad state (first photo)and restored it and used it daily for work. A fantastic bloke and a true vintage club member. Bill sold it to a mate of mine who asked me to do some restoration. My mate lost interest and I acquired it and decided to get it back on the road although, my budget was almost non existent. Anyway I finally got it registered and is still a reliable Ute today.
Note in the photos the sweat down my back when spray painting lacquer. My dad would have had nightmares if he knew I sprayed in those humid conditions. The lacquer is holding up ok but the so called black 2xpak is deteriorating.
