Starting to take shape. She's a bit ruff at the mo but getting there nothing a bit more bashing and some rivets wont fix.

Cheers guys

To right I wanna get at the gold I can see Oallen and Tuena becoming second homes not long now before I do a test (Big Kev excited ). The photo's don't show it real well but I have rounded and filed the edges can only imagine the grief I'll cope if Lee or the daughter knock some bark off :8. I will be going over it with a file and grinder in the finish up in the next month or so. I'll post some more pics as things progress got a bit on this month (Fossicking )so things might slow a bit.

Cheers

Hey Col
This is a great example of Aussie ingenuity and DIY. Bending up the panels with what you have on hand.
Great job and great thread.

 

[Colin&Lee]

Took it out for a run and tinker with the angles, flow etc and managed to catch some of the yellow happy as a pig in mud for an 1 1/2hr muck around

Cheers

C&L

 

[ChrisM]

Mate if thats what you get when your "tinkering"...keep at it
Gotta be happy with that

 

[Jed]

Well done Col - nice yellow stuff Jed

 

[WalnLiz]

Good effort for an hour and a half Col....Need to get the Bankers out to GG soon...Cheers Wal.

 

[Colin&Lee]

I should have put this up earlier but she's finished. Big thanks to Wal for the cat walk mesh, cable tray, chopping bits off that I didn't need and the awesome advise

I've also changed the way things are held down inside as those that saw it at Tuena known it was almost impossible to get apart for clean out :8

Cheers

C&L
