My pack arrived today, it didn’t suffer too badly in transit from Germany, busted bumper I’ll try to mend. This is a video of the pack before it was sent. It’s bigi71’s pack that was for sale a couple of months ago, there’s no way I could have constructed something as great as this. This is Bjorn’s thread on how he built it.
WOW!!! How much did that set you back mate???
Hi, a good 3k all up after shipping. Had some savings and Kevin’s govt stimulus handout helped too, besides Germany is officially in recession so they needed the money more ![]()
WOW. That’s awesome! I love how the crank knob actually has a purpose on your pack. And a wand with extending tip and lights. Beautiful. Congrats!
Hol-y shit, that’s probably the best scratch built pack I’ve ever seen. That guy has talent! I’m bookmarking that thread for future reference, hehe.
I love how the crank knob adjusts the speed of the lights, and that the barrel extension switch actually works.
Us NSW dudes should get together one weekend before the Expo, I’d love to see that equipment in person!
I’m so happy, I never thought I’d own something like this ever, or as good. Have we all decided what day we are all going to do Supanova? Sunday is a definate show for me, Depends on work commitments on the others. It’s weird walking into the spare room, grab a jacket and there’s this thing in its corner…
Yeah I’d say Sunday as well
Awesome.
But it sure is something else though to build your own.
Yeah I think sunday is the day
,
Ok so lets start organizing, do you city boys want to pick a place?
Well Clint (lovers) and I live out west near Windsor. Not sure where AMC is from.
Maybe meet at Narellan somewhere one weekend. It’s still a fair way from Bowral, but still sorta central. Or maybe meet up at the Blacktown drive-in one night, that’d be cool. Bring your packs in the boot, hehe.
I also wouldn’t mind knowing some first names? I only know your screen names.
My name is Andrew. I live on the North Shore, up at North Ryde near Macquarie Uni. Bit of a hike out to Narellan lol, might have to wait till Supanova to meet up then. I’ll have all my gear ready by then hopefully too.
Anywhere is a drive for me dont worry i’m used to it ![]()
im in Sydney usually every other weekend anyway
My screenname is the clue to mine, BEN :eyeroll:
No worries, guys. Maybe we can meet up somewhere on the morning of Supanova, or in the carpark at Homebush even. And have a beer at the Novotel Hotel afterwards.
Yeah sounds great guys, hopefully i will have a pack ready!!!
I will be working hard over the next couple of weeks getting things ready. The sunday should be good for me as i am injured at the moment and cant play footy on the weekend.
So yeah i’m in for sure!!!
Yeah Rick that sounds like a plan since I won’t be able to sleep that Sat night haha. Would be better if we all make a grand entrance as a group right than filter in one at a time.
Im gonna be trying to do my holden rodeo up Ecto style!!! Maybe we could meet somewhere and then all turn up in my car all at once???
Hehe, sounds like an ambitious project, but hey if you pull it off why not. Except we’ll probably have to park in the multi-story carpark with everyone else, so it might be a waste of time if no-one gets to see it.
Oh yeah i didnt even think about that.
Maybe i could get in touch with the ones in charge of it and see if they will let us drive right up close or something
On the topic of ectos, I saw a white 300c touring with these black mags the other day on TV, I reckon an srt8 version of that thing would rock as a new ecto. Think I know what my next car is going to be hehe ![]()
