Im on the road again

Post by EK JAY »

:D :D Its been a big week for me i flew back to
Coffs Harbour and took the car up to the engineer
and no drama's there then for a blue slip
all fine there so then into the RTA and
got the plates :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

drove the car back today she went like a rocket
thanks to all the guys who gave me advice while i was
building the car and a massive thanks to my DAD
with out his experience and knowledge the car would not
have been half as good as it is :wink:

couple of pics with the flappers on and plates

Top stuff Jay 8) theres nothing that beats the feeling of cruising in a car with a brand new set of plates on it. :D :D :D
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Love the car mate.. i'm jealous as mine isn't done yet.

Don't like the steelies though.. should get a set of smoothies or original style steelies for the old girl.

I think there allright, good to see some change happening instead of the same old- same old. He can change to what ever he likes when he gets bored with it.
