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
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

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.
