Haha looks like were both been sprung. Its a long time since ive seen baldhills and i now live in sunny qld. But i used to live in Invermay (74-82) which is not far from there. I really miss having the bush right near home. The capri you see in my avatar has been over every road in the district, usually at high speed. My nephew had a mk2 cortina set up as a rally car, tar or dirt it was always going sideways. So yeh im very familiar with ballarat.

Invermay and Ballarat are a lot different now alot of invermay is houses and the urban sprawl towards the forest seems relentless . Alot of creswick state forest, which used to be the domain of rally cars and motorbikes ,now has bushwalkers and mountain bike using it so the days of high speed runs along Codes forest road are nearly gone .

Love the stocky appearance. what's with the tubes going to the wipers? Keeping the kent? (Hope so!)

The tubes are for the windscreen washer fluid , the original squirters were buggered so this was the easiest way to replace em [:p] unfortunately they dont work anymore . I will probably keep the Kent for now but if the bug bits i might do a zetec conversion in the future as i own a cnc machine and may make my own BDA look alike rocker cover . but that will be awhile down the track .

Do you still live in the Ballarat Area or have moved else where ? i might need to get your help in sourcing local parts for the Eskie .
