Hey all, just wanting to know the best value accommodation in Dubbo on my to SEQ to pick up my beloved 264GL. I will have a trailer so security is priority. Any advice welcome.

Can you bring a front sway bar from Spac (at Yass) to near my place on the Gold Coast?
beema41
I'm going straight up the middle to toowoomba via cowra, dubbo & goodiwindi, wasn't going near the GC sorry, but happy to drop it off to anyone you know at toowoomba or laidley. Could also meet up with you?

Can you grab the 140 bits I forgot at Robs? Then can grab off you at some point. Perhaps getting the sway bar to Robs would do the trick or close enough?
egads (she/her)
On topic, never stayed in Dubbo but most motels have good lighting and off street parking which should tick boxes. Wotif for deals maybe?
beema41
Yes that should be no problem. I'm going up thru Yass so I can call in. Will be leaving Saturday morning and returning Tuesday or Wednesday. Does rob know which parts?
egads (she/her)
Yup, whatever he doesn't want. He already had it seperated but forgot it when I did a similar trip a month back.
beema41
Sorry, I'll need your address again. Are there a lot of bulky parts? I'm going in my xc70 but sleeping in it on the way so won't have much room. Coming back I will have the 264 & it's boot, but that will have s set of alloys in it.
beema41
I'm not worrying about accommodation now, due to budget constraints, so camping in car.
Rob
The bits that @egads wants will take up a very small portion of your 264 boot space... I am also happy to get @OldnDecrepit 's sway bar down to him somehow if you manage to get it to me.
beema41
I forgot all about the trailer. I'll just strap the sway bar onto the trailer somewhere. Did a top to bottom service and detail today on the XC so rearing to go! Bought a cheap foam mattress for the back, single size, disappointed it is a little too big, my old 240 wagon could easily have swallowed the mattress!

When are you going to be at Rob's? If the timing is suitable, I will come over and meet you both.
beema41
I'll be leaving my home in Canberra first thing Saturday morning, travelling up through the centre of new south, staying somewhere after dubbo Saturday night and I expect to reach Laidley late Sunday. Would be great to meet up, are you going to Parkes in September?
OldnDecrepit
Yes, I and my wife will be in Parkes. When you say late Sunday do you mean nightime?
Will you still be there on the Monday?
beema41
Yes I'll still be there (SEQ) on Monday as I have an appointment in Toowoomba in the morning.
beema41
Just to update and inform all that I have returned to Canberra successfully with the 264 in tow. All is well. Long trip but well worth it. And great to meet up with Rob. Thanks again Rob for your help in inspecting and retrieving the car and then storing it until I could get there. Now the job of fixing those little issues. I'm off to Motor Spares to get a length of Vacuum pipe to start replacing all those perished hoses. As expected I located quite a few dodgy ones. I've also started getting quotes for a brake master too.
Rob
No problems Greg.
I think a showroom/build thread is in order.

Sorry to have missed you. Had to take Olga in to the motor registry to get her qld plates and drop off my Magna for some panelbeating readying it for sale.
Tuesday we drove to Sunshine coast to go to Aus Zoo for a tiger walk. Spent all of today there!
Hope to catch up in Parkes.
