slow cause i just don't have any real interest, it's more like i have to work on it rather thani want to work on it

Wagons can look the best and be the most practical at swap meets

Way better than sedans ....
But not as good as coupes

which by the way is still growing in my shed ,.
When you get this one roadworthy come for a visit , NOT BEFORE

Makes it hard when that hapens, it happened during the buil on my sedan. Was no fun had to walk away for a bit... some bits took more effort to do due to no motivation...

Ratbox, walk away from it for about 6 months, ride motor bikes or cruize to pub and down some schooners. Go to your mates place and watch them do some cars, instead of of you helping.

Maybe then you will be ready to finish what you intended, no need to rush these things there arn't any races here. There all going to China for competition. So who cares.

Regards John

Yep, sometimes you do just get sick of working on them.I am at the moment and am having a break doing other non car things.

i'de love to walk away but i'm pretty sure i have a touch of OCD and i just can't and not having a job doesn't help and now it's too close

i've only got to put the rear lenses and the bumper bars on and it's in a registerable state, this week sometime i'm going for a drive

to get the exhaust done, rang the RTA to confirm as long as i drive directly to and from the nearest place of repair it's OK to drive unreg

i can't help that it's a 25km drive each way to the nearest exhaust shop

any sort of paint will be a while off i've just heavily shadowed the primer patches, was going to drive it to the AHD on a permit but have to take my mates car back

ready for a bit of a run, as some less knowledgeable on here think i just shonk up bombs and paint them flat cause i can't do any better

i gave it a quick squirt of paint today to cover the primer patches and make it easier to see the little imperfections that are left before i rub it back and paint it FLAT

i could quite easily cut it back and buff it and it would come up quite well but who wants to be like everybody else

driving it to sydney on friday fingers crossed

the wheels look like sh!t but the'll have to do for now
