Just went for a little drive across the city to pick up some Fiat wheels for the Haflinger. Fit perfectly. Now to go for a longer drive to get another set of tyres.

Turns out the canopy for the #Haflinger we went to pickup today is not the canvas type.

Going to pick up some #Haflinger bits for our new addition today and perve at other Haflingers.

Look how beautiful! Haflinger wheels powder coated, now with brand new rubber direct from Germany.

Mmm Haflinger bits. Getting closer to getting him back on the road!

Some more unusual spots. Fiat Puntos never did great sales here. A little Mazda 121 survivor. Ford Mustang (there are thousands of these here). And I think that Haval needs some more badges to even it up.

We got a second hand toolbox for our Haffy, and tyres and inner tubes for now. I am sure we'll be back for some more bits later.

There was a third Haflinger inside another shed. This one is the same model as ours, so is what ours would have looked like once.

There's two Haflingers parked in this container. And a very rare thing; an Australian only built tiny Haflinger trailer that the Australian Defence Force engineers used to cart tools and equipment around with back in the sixties. Never seen one before, not many made and I doubt many survived.

But this is what we were after. A container full of Haflinger bits! Lots of New Old Stock stuff too.

Drove through some wet patches but overall wasn't too bad. Did see a VW Type 3 notchback as well but the photo didn't turn out.

Went for a two hour drive in the countryside today to pick up some brand new Haflinger tyres for Harry. Because when you have a Haflinger, you can't shop for Haflinger parts in the usual auto store. Some interesting spots on the way.

#Haflinger update; tyre seller is still slow so we may be doing a 6 hour drive on the weekend to pick them up.

Harry's carbie has returned and it is GORGEOUS. Cleaned and scrubbed, new parts plated, extractor painted, look at it. Going to go in here with this soon.

Wenn man einen #Haflinger reitet: "Ooooah, geiles Stoppelfeld, da können wir es mal so richtig krachen lassen!"
Gleiches Stoppelfeld, wenn man ein englisches #Vollblut reitet: "Mhhh, sollen wir da überhaupt angaloppieren? Ich glaub der Bremsweg ist zu kurz..."

Haflinger wheels are back from the powder coater

The Haflinger's wheels have been dropped off for powder coating, the carburettor is still being rebuilt. New tyres have arrived in Australia, just waiting for them to get to the seller so we can pick a new set. Getting there with Harry!

A small #Haflinger update. Got a gasket kit in and dropped it and the carburettor off at a carbie specialist to rebuild it completely. Reassuringly old school business with a sea of carbie bits on display and an owner who recognised what it was. And said Porsche 356 carbs are very similar. Hopefully ready for pickup in a couple weeks time.
More engine bits are being unbolted, cleaned and painted. Coming along nicely.
