Nigel's FB
Our club treasurer is flat out getting his FB back together so he can bring it to the Nationals, I gave him a hand yesterday to get a few bits back in it- bloody windscreens are a nightmare, can't get them to sit in properly, might have to get some new rubbers from Betta Rubber, these Rare Spares ones aren't even close......

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.

Awesome detailing there chaps. Can’t beat red with a white flash ones. Specially with the colour coded fan blade.

Re: Nigel's FB
Still a few long nights there, the trim will chew up some time.
I did this sort of stuff years ago, Summernats 3 days away, finished the at the time ute and was giving it a test run when the trusty grey become not so trusty ! 2 days to go borrowed a mates red motor, welded in some engine mounts and away we went again, this time overheating ! 1 day to go new radiator and support panel and that problem was fixed. So we made it but in all the hurry I forgot the gearbox support bush in the crank so after 4 days terrorising Canberra the trusty 3 speed got really loud and eventually died !
Nice colour as well I agree, good luck hope you can make it.
Regards Greg
