Hi friends,
After going both sides of the fence for many years, umming ad arring about whether i could do it, i have come here to announce i have just now put a deposit on an AU. It should be RW'd and ready to pick up by Saturday week hopefully. I waited to find the one that ticked at least most of the boxes i was after, and it certainly does. I'll turn this into my build thread once it's in my driveway, and post up some pics. At that point I'll also tell you what it actually is, as i believe this would help the thread. On a side note, does anyone have a link to an AU colour chart? Stay tuned.

I reckon it's an AUI ex-cab with hub caps that has clocked the odometer at least twice .... just for something different.
