Reading this and looking at the pics brought back all the memories of the day I picked up my Outback (about 14 months ago).

The emotions still run strong - you will remember this day, trust me.

I trust your first outing is a success - good luck !!

Any good livewell build requires at least 3 redesigns and a minimum of 5 trips to Bunnings ;).

Yep, I second that, once you see your new baby on the roof you can't help but smile and get excited :)
Pimping is awesome but go easy on the drill, plastic welding is expensive lol
See you out there!

I am very reluctant in drilling the holes.....at this stage i have only drill a hole for the anchor light.

Won't drill any more until i am 100% certain that is where i want the sounder & forward rod holders
