I'd almost forgotten about this pic...
It's pretty rugged, I copied a whole lot of old 1970's slides using a cheap converter, and this one was a half frame 35mm one just to make it worse. The pic however, pretty much says it all about my lifestyle in the late 70s. The old XR Falcon 'Anna' was her name. (Deb had a 2 litre Escort, and I bought a Falcon, so we had 'A Escort anna Falcon' Guess you had to be there eh...)
We fitted Austin 1800 front bucket seats, side and back window curtains, a cut down Clarks rubber mattress, a radio, and patched up the rust with nespaper and bog, then drove her everywhere, roads or not. As long as there was surf at the end, that's where we went.
In this pic, the beach is right in front of the bonnet, the tree marked the track.
Sometimes I really wish life could be that uncomplicated for both of us, just one more time...
Cheers, Glen.
On the fringes of rodding since 1963, I reckon it's about time I got myself organinsed!
then got in it and drove back to melbourne.
