Good on yar Brett, that's what I needed to know. I'll change the advertisements on gumtree and Facebook to suit.

And for you bellett.net peoples, I'm happy to sell my trailer to anyone who will use it for your Wasp or Bellett for a very reasonable price. Maybe even $1, maybe.

I have been thinking about bolting the farm generator and welder into it for some remote fencing jobs but I wanted to see if it was saleable first before putting more holes into it.

If my kids ever get to sell this stuff, it'll be for the scrap metal weight price, which would be sad.

And because I hate haggling, here is what it cost me so far:
Purchase price $150,
Transport up from NSW by a friend of mine, Maca's lunch for him and his 6 kids at Coffs harbour :oops: ,
Gernie time by Jaxon my son for 4 hours at one subway meal per hour plus a drink.
Dry storage since 17 April 2017, PRICELESS!!!

Re: Wasp tubs - saved this one - barely

Post by BrisBellett »

This tub was almost too far gone but a skilful panel worker managed to save this one with some major panel work. Very little bog was used and the sides are not straight - a few slight ripples here and there - but this is a '64 ute.
