Actually it's probably twenty years since I sold the A7, so more like thirty years ago when I acquired this little lot:

G'day Hawaii50, *welcome*.
What a find  *ex*. Sort of like finding an Ex-girlfriends little sister  ;D. So the first thing to sort out in the new home is the shed.
Cheers

loving the ex-girlfriend's little sister analogy, married ex-girlfriend's best friend though as she didn't have a sister...
Ariel front end is to see if anyone is paying attention and is one of the bits I do recognise!
