Post by Bounty Hunter »

Gidday all

Last year i picked up what i believe to be the only Albin in New Zealand

Found it in a rather sorry state a few hours drive south of my place - but it had a lot of attributes that appealed to me and after a quick chat with the wife - a few weeks later it was on a lorry en-route to a yard closer to home

We spent about 4 months tidying it up before re-launch in February this year - the big stuff was done but a lot of little jobs remained and ive been working on these over our summer whilst going out for a few short runs to build up my trust in it
