Re: Adelaide to Perth in a Country Buggy
Today’s the biggest day.
Eucla to Coolgardie’s 873km leisurely cruise.
Anyone looking for a ‘55 panel in need of full resto? Great patina.

Re: Adelaide to Perth in a Country Buggy
okay gents (and are there any ladies..) anyway, arrived home this arv massive trip,,, so to answer a few questions
Casey - mate with a 61 11 window and a few otheres, adamant he wants teh fame and fortune of doing this and did the whole drive solo, hes @caseyg95 i=on Insta
Other guy - hmm thats my 85 year old father in law, wanted to do the Nullabor and I said sure come for the ride...
a really amazing trip, Ive clocked up just over 10,000 ks this time and met some great people many of whom id only ever spoken to on the phone. The splitty ran like a star, oil change and tappets done in Byron but no issues. For those interested its a 62 11 window, lowlight front with discs, IRS, beetle box with super tall 4th gear and FDR and 1776
CB is KO 329, did an engine swap in Adelaide at Volks Care, Ralf was great and very hepful. will sell the 16600 TP now and he's going to rebuild the original motor and will truck over. Anyone interested in a motor Id really recommend him.

Re: Adelaide to Perth in a Country Buggy
Amazing trip mate. You both deserve to be locked up for even contemplating that trip . Hands down the most impressive road trip I’ve ever heard of, it’s a massive trip in a bus but to do It in a bus AND an open CB with no backup is just awesome.
